White spots inside the labia

The main reason for the whitening of the labia is damage and blockage of the mucosa, and it is more likely to be a problem of vulvar leukoplakia. Vulvar leukoplakia is also known as vulvar malnutrition. It requires frequent bathing, frequent changes of underwear, attention to private area cleanliness, enhanced nutritional supplements, and ensuring physical health. Patients with serious conditions need to go to the hospital for a special gynecological examination and then a targeted gynecological examination. This article also introduces other reasons for white labia, let’s take a look.

1. Vulvar infection and inflammatory stimulation: This is the main cause of vulvar leukoplakia, accounting for about 50% of patients. There are many factors that cause vulvar infection and inflammatory irritation, such as poor hygiene habits, wearing synthetic underwear, unclean sanitary products, bathing in a bathhouse, swimming in a bathhouse, etc., which lead to vaginal inflammation. If not treated in time, the inflammatory secretions will infiltrate the perineum, and long-term infection and irritation will damage the skin and mucous membranes, causing redness, swelling, ulcers and degeneration, which will gradually develop into vulvar leukoplakia.

2. Endocrine disorders: Endocrine diseases are caused by pathological changes in the endocrine glands and tissues themselves, or by endocrine disorders due to genetics, enzyme defects, immune function and other reasons. Through the determination of tritium (H3) labeled thymidine, it is believed that there is a protein hormone in the dermis that can inhibit the division and growth of epidermal cells and only acts locally on the epidermis with tissue specificity, called inhibin. It causes an imbalance between local connective tissue hyperplasia and the stimulation of epidermal metabolism at that location, leading to vulvar leukoplakia.

3. Genetic factors: About 10-30% of patients with vulvar leukoplakia. It is caused by genetics. The genetically caused vulvar leukoplakia is mainly atrophic type, and the patients are mainly young girls. In clinical practice, the first thing to pay attention to for patients under 15 years old is genetic factors, and inquire whether there are patients with vulvar leukoplakia in their parents' family.

4. Other diseases: such as diabetes, vitiligo, vulvar eczema, vulvar itching, etc., if the drugs are abused or the treatment is improper, it may also cause or aggravate the formation and development of vitiligo.
