Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a bit itchy in my private area, and it seems the color is a bit different, a bit whitish. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was leukoplakia of the vulva. Could you please ask: What is the best way to treat leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
1. Autoimmune factors: Some patients with vulvar leukoplakia have associated autoimmune diseases such as hyperthyroidism, vitiligo, and others.2. Virus infection: Reports suggest that there is a certain relationship between acid-fast bacilli, human papillomavirus, and the onset of vulvar leukoplakia.
3. Lack of sexual hormones: Experiments have found that the level of dihydrotestosterone in the blood of some patients is significantly lower than that of normal peers of the same age.
4. Generational inheritance factors: If direct relatives suffer from this disease, the probability of women developing vulvar leukoplakia is significantly higher than that of women without such a condition.
5. Local cellular decomposition and metabolic dysfunction.
