Leukoplakia of the vagina is a condition in which white patches or lesions form on the walls of the vagina. it is typically caused by chronic irritation or inflammation due to an infection, such as a sexually transmitted infection, or due to physical trauma to the area. the irritation causes the normal cells of the vagina to be replaced with thicker, white patches. this can lead to further inflammation and pain. treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause of the irritation, such as antibiotics or antivirals for an infection, and topical medications to reduce inflammation.
