Why does vulvar leukoplakia occur?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Why does vulvar leukoplakia occur?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginal leukoplakia is generally related to local pigment loss and may be associated with a lack of personal sex hormones. In addition to abnormal sex hormone receptors, prolonged repetitive friction or chronic inflammation and secretory stimulation may also lead to its recurrence. Currently, there is still no complete cure for vaginal leukoplakia. Treatment primarily focuses on symptomatic relief, and estrogenic effect creams can be used. At the same time, it is important to maintain local dryness and avoid irritants such as soap.
