Patient's question:
What are the hazards of vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Answer: Vulvar leukoplakia, also known as vulvar dystrophy, is mostly caused by endocrine disorders, disruptions, and low or abnormal immunity. Clinically, it manifests as depigmentation, paleness, hyperkeratosis, roughness, thickening, scaling, hardening, cracks, ulcers, atrophy of the labia majora and minora, itching or intensely unbearable pruritus, affecting work mood, normal social interactions, and severely impacting sexual life. 10% of patients may develop cancer, making it a chronic condition that is difficult to effectively eradicate elsewhere.
