Vulvar leukoplakia is a proliferative lesion of the mucosal epithelium or epidermis, commonly occurring in middle-aged women or those who have undergone menopause. Main symptoms include vulvar itching and localized pain; in severe cases, symptoms such as edema and fissures may also appear. It is recommended to seek medical diagnosis and treatment at a hospital. In daily life, attention should be paid to menstrual hygiene, keeping the vulva clean and dry, and wearing cotton, breathable underwear.
