How many people get vulvar leukoplakia?

The incidence of vulvar leukoplakia is not relatively high, and is most common in women in their 40s, followed by young girls. The cause of vulvar leukoplakia is not clear, and may be related to autoimmune levels, infections, genetic factors, or a lack of sex hormones. Repeated infections with certain bacteria, viruses or fungi may lead to lesions if the inflammation irritates the vulva for a long period of time; or if there is a family history of vulvar leukoplakia, there may be a genetic factor as well. Generally speaking, vulvar leukoplakia mainly manifests as vulvar itching, vulvar burning, etc., and in the advanced stage, it may also cause difficulty in sexual intercourse, so it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to avoid delaying the condition.
