Patient's question:
I don't know what the reason is, but I have developed leukoplakia of the vulva. Lately, I've been feeling pain in my vulvar area. Yesterday, during sexual intercourse with my boyfriend, I noticed spots on my vulva. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and it was confirmed to be leukoplakia of the vulva. I would like to ask, what are the causes that lead to leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend, the occurrence of leukoplakia of the external genitalia is directly related to endocrine disorders in women. Due to pathological changes in endocrine glands and the body itself, or due to reasons such as hereditary transmission across generations, enzyme deficiencies, and immune function disorders, endocrine disorders may lead to endocrine diseases. Through the measurement of tritium (H3)-labeled thymidine, it is believed that the dermis contains a protein hormone that can inhibit the division and growth of epidermal cells and is specific to the epidermis locally. This hormone is called inhibin, and it is caused by endocrine disorders between the fibrosis of local connective tissues and the breakdown of epidermal metabolism in that area.
