Repeated itching of private parts is uncomfortable, and white lesions of vulva may be present. Wang Xuefeng, Director of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Third Hospital of Southern Medical College, said that patients with leukoplakia of the vulva will have vaginal itching, dry perineal skin and loss of elasticity, and more serious patients will have symptoms such as vulva ulceration, atrophy, pain and burning. According to statistics, the incidence of white lesions in the vulva accounts for 5% - 10% of women's vulva lesions, which is a relatively high incidence gynecological disease. Although it is not infectious, it has a high genetic probability. She suggested that female friends, if you feel uncomfortable in private places, please go to Zhengzheng Hospital for examination and treatment in time.
Repeated itching afflicts patients for 5 years
Ms. Lin, 30, has suffered from repeated itching of the vulva for five years. A month ago, she came to the outpatient department of obstetrics and gynecology of the Third Hospital of Southern Medical College. She looked worried and said to Wang Xuefeng, director of obstetrics and gynecology, "Professor Wang, I feel very uncomfortable below. I can't sit down. I can only stand and tell you about my situation". It turned out that Ms. Lin often had repeated itching in the vulva before having sex, but she felt it was a private part, so she was ashamed to go to the hospital for inspection. She checked online and used some oral anti-inflammatory drugs and external washing drugs to improve. She got married the year before last. Vaginitis is always repeated. She also went to many hospitals for treatment, but she could not cut the root.
In the last three months, Ms. Lin felt that the perineum itching was getting more and more serious. She felt that it was hot and difficult to have a roommate. After learning about Ms. Lin's condition, Wang Xuefeng found that Ms. Lin's perineal skin was broken and her vaginal orifice was atrophied after inspection. It was considered as white lesions of the vulva. After Ms. Lin's consent was obtained, a biopsy of the vulva was carried out, and the pathological results 3 days later indicated that there was squamous epithelial hyperplasia of the vulva.
Wang Xuefeng introduced that white lesions of the vulva mainly include squamous epithelial hyperplasia of the vulva and lichen sclerosus of the vulva. Due to the loss of pigment in the perineal skin and mucous membrane, local and diffuse white patches appeared in the female pudendal skin, also known as leukoplakia of the vulva. Patients with leukoplakia of the vulva will also suffer from pruritus of the vulva, dry perineal skin, loss of elasticity, and more serious symptoms such as ulceration, atrophy, pain and burning of the vulva. According to statistics, the incidence of white lesions in the vulva accounts for 5% - 10% of women's vulva lesions, which is a relatively high incidence gynecological disease. Although it is not infectious, it has a high genetic probability. Female friends, if you feel uncomfortable in the private place, please go to the regular hospital for examination and treatment in time.
Five Causes Repeated infection and inflammatory stimulation
Wang Xuefeng introduced that the white lesions of the vulva were caused by the following factors: first, recurrent infection and inflammatory stimulation of the perineum, which caused 50% of the patients with white lesions of the vulva; The second is endocrine disorder; The third is genetic factors. After inquiring the family history of patients with white lesions of the vulva, it was found that about 10-30% of the patients' parents had similar lesions in their families; The fourth is related to low immunity.
It is reported that patients with white lesions of the vulva suffer from strange itching, which usually occurs in the labia majora, the sulcus between the labia, and the clitoris, and the pain increases after scratching, which seriously affects the normal life of women; In addition, some patients will have thickening of the vulva, wrinkles or scales, eczema like changes, the color of which is dark red or pink, if further development will appear vulva atrophy, difficulty in rooming and other symptoms.
In the last century, white lesions of the vulva were called leukoplakia of the vulva, and people even regarded it as precancerous lesions. However, studies have found that the canceration rate of white lesions of the vulva is not high. Some people have followed up white lesions of the vulva for 20-30 years and found that its canceration rate is extremely low, accounting for only 2%. Therefore, there is no need to be nervous and afraid after suffering from white lesions of the vulva. But we must treat according to the course of treatment, and we must follow up regularly after treatment. Of course, we should pay attention to patients with hyperplastic vulval lesions with ulceration and induration, and be careful of canceration.
Pay attention to personal hygiene
Wang Xuefeng suggested that female friends should avoid some misunderstandings when caring for their private parts. For example, the first mistake: the more frequently you clean the perineum, the better. In fact, there is a protective film on the surface of the mucous membrane of women's private parts. Excessive cleaning will destroy the protective film, making it dry, uncomfortable and even itchy; Myth 2: Frequent use of vaginal care fluid for vaginal perfusion, women's vagina has different bacterial communities, which normally check and balance each other, and get along with each other peacefully. Frequent use of various care fluid irrigation will change the pH value in the vagina, make the flora imbalance, and thus induce vaginitis.
Director Wang Xuefeng gave four suggestions on how to care for private parts in daily life: pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life, and wash and change personal clothes frequently; Choose loose cotton close fitting clothes, and don't wear too tight pants; Keep good living habits, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, don't be too tired, and maintain emotional stability; Women with white lesions of the vulva should not eat too much spicy and stimulating food. They should have balanced nutrition with meat and vegetables.
