Women’s health issues have always been worth paying attention to. After the onset of menarche, women gradually enter adulthood. Whether it is the care of the uterus or the vulva, it is very important to pay attention to it. When vulvar malnutrition occurs, it may be due to the stimulation of underwear, genetic factors, and some gynecological inflammation. What are the reasons for vulvar malnutrition? A detailed understanding is needed.

1. Genetic factors

About 10% to 30% of vulvar leukoplakia patients are caused by inheritance. Inherited vulvar leukoplakia is mainly of the atrophic type, with young girls as the main patient group. Clinically, for patients under 15 years of age, attention should first be paid to the genetic factor, and it should be investigated whether there are patients with vulvar leukoplakia in their parents’ family history.

2. Vulvar infection and inflammation

This is the main cause of vulvar leukoplakia, with about 50% of patients developing the condition due to vaginal inflammation not being treated promptly. Chronic inflammation can lead to the infiltration of inflammatory secretions into the perineum. Over time, this can cause damage to the skin and mucous membranes, leading to redness, ulcers, and changes, eventually developing into vulvar leukoplakia.

3. Other diseases

Patients with diabetes, vitiligo, vulvar eczema, and other conditions may cause or exacerbate the formation and development of leukoderma due to improper medication use and treatment.

4. There are many causes of vulvar itching such as

External stimuli, birth control pills, tight underwear, secretion irritation, gonorrhea, non-gonococcal vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, trichomonal vaginitis, dermatitis, and other conditions can cause itching of the vulva. For your health, it is recommended to promptly undergo relevant examinations to identify the cause of vulvar itching and then take targeted treatment measures in a timely manner.
