Gynecologic leukoplakia can also be called vulvar dystrophy. Causes of vulvar dystrophy include lower estrogen levels, external stimuli, genetic factors, infections, and so on.
1. Low level of estrogen: When the level of estrogen in the body is low, the vulva loses the normal effect of estrogen, which will lead to vulvar dystrophy.
2. External stimulation: If the vulva is stimulated by external friction for a long time or if there is a lot of secretion, the stimulation of secretion will also cause vulvar dystrophy.
3. Genetic factors: If the mother suffers from vulvar dystrophy, her daughter is at a higher risk of developing the disease, and regular medical checkups are recommended.
4. Infection: Gynecological leukoplakia is also related to infection. External infection causes inflammation, and long-term inflammation will break the perineal skin, resulting in redness, swelling, ulcers, and finally vulvar dystrophy.
It is recommended that women with vulvar dystrophy should go to the hospital in time to find out the cause of the disease and take targeted treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
