Vulvar leukoplakia is a disease that we need to treat in a timely manner, especially during treatment. We should also achieve targeted treatment based on our own condition, and pay attention to prevention methods for such diseases.
Causes of vulvar leukoplakia
1. Heredity: About 10-30% of patients with vulvar leukoplakia are caused by genetics, and the main type of vulvar leukoplakia caused by genetics is atrophic, with the majority of patients 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.
2. Inflammation: Causes local nerve and blood vessel injuries, leading to inflammation such as trichomonas vaginitis, fungal vaginitis, and cervical erosion in a small number of pregnant women, causing an increase in vaginal secretions and degeneration of the vaginal discharge. Prolonged stimulation of the external genitalia can cause vitiligo of the external genitalia. Clinically, anti-inflammatory drugs and other symptomatic therapies are given.
3. Endocrine imbalance: Through the measurement of wet h3 labeled thymosine, there is an inhibitory effect on epidermal cell division and growth in the dermis. There are tissue specific protein hormones in the epidermis, known as inhibins, which are out of tune between the stimulation of local connective tissue proliferation and epidermal metabolism.
4. Traumatic birth injury: During childbirth, pregnant women may experience perineal tears, local nerve and blood vessel damage, and a small number of pregnant women may develop white patches on the external genitalia.
Prevent white spots on the external genitalia
1. Women should not use potassium manganate solution and soap when cleaning the external genitalia.
2. In order to prevent vulva leukoplakia, women also need to treat diabetes, enterobius vermicularis and vulva, vaginal trichomonas or mold infections
3. Eat a diet rich in vitamins to correct anemia, low stomach acid, and any abnormal dietary habits.
4. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest, prevent vulvar leukoplakia, and avoid excessive fatigue, mental tension, and mental stimulation.
5. Treat diseases with increased vaginal discharge such as vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and cervicitis, and avoid inflammation of the external genitalia caused by vaginal discharge soaking.
6. It is advisable to wear loose cotton fabrics for underwear, without nylon or synthetic fiber products. In hot and sweaty summer days, pantyhose is not suitable, and tight tight tight pants or jeans should not be worn during normal times.
Treatment of vulvar leukoplakia
1. General treatment: Pay attention to keeping the external genitalia clean and dry, prohibit using highly irritating drugs or soap to clean the external genitalia, avoid wearing breathable synthetic underwear, and avoid eating spicy and easily allergic foods. For those with obvious itching symptoms leading to insomnia, sedative, hypnotic, and anti allergic drugs can be added.
