What are the causes of vulvar leukoplakia?

Patient's question:

I went with my sister-in-law to the hospital for a gynecological examination today. The examination results showed that my sister-in-law has leukoplakia of the vulva. I would like to ask what causes leukoplakia of the vulva?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginal infection and inflammatory stimulation are the main causes of vulvar leukoplakia. When vaginal infection or inflammation occurs again, if not treated promptly, it can lead to redness, swelling, ulcers, and degeneration, which can then expand into vulvar leukoplakia. In addition to endocrine disorders, these are also the main reasons that cause women to develop vulvar leukoplakia. There is also a certain hereditary factor from previous generations for vulvar leukoplakia. In addition to immediate treatment, patients with vulvar leukoplakia also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in their daily lives.
