Which HPV infection is likely to be present in an itchy vulva?

Usually HPV infection does not present with vulvar itching and leukorrhea.
In most cases of HPV infection, there may not be any clinical symptoms, but with persistent high-risk subtype infection, cervical, vulvar, and vaginal squamous epithelial lesions may occur, and in severe cases, precancerous lesions or even cancerous lesions may exist. In some low-risk subtype infections, mild grade cervical squamous epithelial lesions and condyloma acuminatum may be present.
If symptoms of vulvar itching occur, vulvovaginal inflammation should be considered. Some specific diseases, such as vulvar dystrophy, squamous epithelial hyperplasia, and vulvar leukoplakia, may also present with vulvar itching. A small number of women may be involved in the application of unclean sanitary products, such as sanitary napkins, sanitary pads leading to infection or allergy, and may experience vulvar itching and discomfort.
Therefore, when women experience vulvovaginal itching and discomfort, they should go to the hospital for appropriate examinations, such as routine leukorrhea tests, to determine whether there is any specific inflammation. In addition, the type of inflammation should also be differentiated, so that a targeted choice of medication can be given to enhance the therapeutic effect.
