Some patients have consulted online experts: Is white vulva leukoplakia?

In this regard, experts from Guangzhou Yinxiang Hospital gave a relevant explanation: whitening of the skin on the female vulva is not the only symptom of vulvar leukoplakia. Typically, typical symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia include the following:

1. Vulvar itching. Vulvar itching is also one of the symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia. Because scratching the local area stimulates larger nerve fibers, it can inhibit the reflex of the itch nerve fibers and temporarily relieve the symptoms, but it aggravates the skin damage and makes the itching worse. The more itchy it is, the more you scratch, and the more you scratch, the itchier it becomes, forming a vicious cycle. In severe cases, people cannot sit or lie down, which affects their sleep.

2. Burning and stinging sensation in the vulva. Patients often scratch constantly due to extreme itching, which over time causes ulcers, fissures, ulcers and secondary infections to occur in the vulva. Therefore, patients often experience local burning pain, especially in the clitoris and labia minora, which are extremely sensitive.

3. Ulcers on the vulva. Due to long-term scratching of the vulva by patients, the vulva skin and mucous membrane are damaged, there will be multiple scratches on the vulva, and redness, swelling and edema will appear. A small number of patients will have ulcer symptoms in the lesioned areas of the vulva.

4. Vulva pigmentation fades (turns white). In the early stages of the disease, the vulvar skin appears dark red or pink, and the areas of hyperkeratosis appear white, grayish white, pinkish white, or black spots. In the late stage of the disease, the skin thickens and becomes lichenified, leathery, thickened, rough and raised.
