Can vulvar leukoplakia be passed on to the next generation? Six key pathogenic factors for vulvar leukoplakia

Vulvar leukoplakia is a disease that we should pay attention to, and it is also a gynecological disease that has a serious impact on women. There are many reasons for illness, and we must reasonably prevent it in daily life.

Is vulvar vitiligo hereditary?

The occurrence of such diseases is actually related to genetics, as our health is influenced by genetics. Many people may not think that the occurrence of vulvar leukoplakia is related to genetics, but this is true. Approximately 10% to 30% of patients with vulvar vitiligo. Due to genetics, vulvar vitiligo caused by genetics is mainly atrophic, with patients mainly being young girls. In clinical practice, patients under the age of 15 should first pay attention to genetic factors and inquire about the presence of patients with vulvar leukoplakia in their parents' families.

Illness is very important in our lives, and in the face of this situation, we must pay attention to the best choice. The probability of inheritance of vulvar leukoplakia is high in all gynecological diseases. Women with a history of vulvar leukoplakia for more than 10 years are 3-5 times more likely to have vulvar leukoplakia compared to regular women. Women with a history of vulvar leukoplakia for 20 years are 7 times more likely to have vulvar leukoplakia compared to regular women. A series of numbers indicate that vulvar leukoplakia has a high degree of heritability. Female friends need to pay attention to it in the early stages of the disease, seek timely treatment, reduce the genetic probability of vulvar leukoplakia, and is also an important means to prevent vulvar leukoplakia from becoming cancerous.

Etiology of vulvar vitiligo

1. Genetic factors: Genetic factors are an important factor that cannot be ignored, with approximately 10-30% of patients with vulvar vitiligo. Due to genetics, vulvar vitiligo caused by genetics is mainly atrophic, with patients mainly being young girls. Patients under the age of 15 should first pay attention to genetic factors in clinical practice.

2. Local neurovascular injury: Inflammations such as trichomonas vaginitis, fungal vaginitis, cervical erosion, etc., increase in vaginal secretions and degeneration of the vaginal discharge. Prolonged stimulation of the secretion can cause itching and repeated scratching of the external genitalia, and local neurovascular injury can cause vitiligo of the external genitalia.

3. Personal hygiene: When women use unclean sanitary napkins and tissues during menstruation, bacteria in the perineum can multiply and spread. Some chemical fiber allergies can stimulate vaginal infections, damage the skin and mucous membranes, cause redness, swelling, ulcers, and degeneration, and may also form white patches on the external genitalia.

4. Endocrine disorders: Due to pathological abnormalities in endocrine glands and tissues themselves, or due to genetic, enzyme defects, and immune function reasons, endocrine disorders can cause endocrine diseases, local connective tissue hyperplasia, and imbalance in epidermal metabolic stimulation at this site can cause white spots on the external genitalia.
