What are the symptoms of vulvar dystrophy? What are the most typical manifestations of vulvar dystrophy?

The symptoms of vulvar itching caused by vulvar malnutrition are extremely itchy, the color of the vulva will become lighter, and the labia will atrophy. Vulvar malnutrition may occur at any stage of female life, so women should take precautions against this disease.

1. Itch - the vulva is extremely itchy

"Feeling extremely itchy" is a common feeling among many patients with vulvar malnutrition, and most of the patients who go to the hospital for treatment have been troubled by this "itch" for a long time.

"I once treated a 60-year-old lady. Every time she came to see me, she would rush in with her pants up because the itching from this disease was driving her crazy." Although some female patients are temporarily distracted by work and other matters during the day, the itching will become "violent" at night, tormenting them and making it difficult for them to sleep.

2. Light - the color of the vulva becomes lighter

Although vaginitis can also cause itching in women, women with vulvar dystrophy should check

Many patients feel very strange when they hear that they have "vulvar dystrophy". In fact, it is not the same as malnutrition. Vulvar dystrophy is also called vulvar leukoplakia or vulvar white lesions. In medicine, it is collectively called "vulvar epithelial non-neoplastic lesions". "In addition to being extremely itchy, this disease has another characteristic that makes patients particularly worried, that is, there may be a risk of cancer."

It should be noted that diabetic patients are also prone to vaginitis or systemic

3. Atrophy - Labia atrophy

There are three main types of vulvar dystrophy: vulvar epithelial squamous hyperplasia, vulvar lichen sclerosus, and a mixture of the two. "If you suffer from the first type, you will feel itchy, and the more you scratch, the more itchy and painful it becomes; while patients with the second type may not feel itchy, but they are prone to labia atrophy, which affects their sexual life."

Vulvar epithelial squamous hyperplasia mostly occurs in women aged 30 to 60 years old. The initial manifestation is redness or whitening of the vulvar skin. The occurrence sites are mostly labia, interlabial groove, clitoral hood, posterior labia joint, etc. Vulvar lichen sclerosus mostly occurs in menopausal women, adolescent girls and young girls. The main manifestations are thickening and lichen-like changes of the vulvar epidermis, accompanied by atrophy symptoms. Some patients do not have itching symptoms.
