Patient's question:
The vagina frequently experiences recurring itching. I have had leukoplakia of the vulva for a year now, and currently, I am taking medication for (treatment and nourishment) and maintaining a relatively light diet. However, the treatment results have not been very effective. The kind of help I am seeking: How does leukoplakia of the vulva occur?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the etiology of leukoplakia of the vulva is very complex and is related to factors such as intergenerational inheritance, chronic inflammatory stimulation, endocrine disorders, autoimmune metabolic decomposition disorders, and microcirculatory disorders. Contagion and inflammatory stimulation are the main causes, accounting for about 50% of patients suffering from this disease. Factors that trigger vulvar contagion and inflammatory stimulation include poor hygiene habits, acute and chronic vaginitis, hot tub baths, ice skating in bathhouses, and cross-infection during overnight stays, all of which lead to vaginal inflammation.
