The Relationship Between Vitiligo and Gender

For the vitiligo condition, the clinical observation found that the incidence of vitiligo in both sexes is not significantly different. According to the relevant data analysis: male patients accounted for 49.45%, and female patients accounted for 53.52% so the incidence of female vitiligo is higher than male.

One of the reasons why women have more vitiligo than men is that many are allergic to cosmetics. There are many causes for female vitiligo patients, because women's psychological stress resistance is poor, for example, emotional trauma, pregnancy and so on may make vitiligo aggravated. There are specialist outpatient statistics for vitiligo, the peak age of onset for women is about 5 years earlier than for men. The fact that these surveys show that women have an earlier onset than men is probably because women are more concerned about beauty than men and are prone to early detection of lesions, which makes the statistical results of women's onset age earlier than men. There was once a belief that the onset of vitiligo is related to puberty because females' sexual maturity is earlier than males, so female vitiligo onset earlier than males, now denied this view.

So women should pay attention, try to use fewer cosmetics, pay attention to their daily diet, and not use cosmetics for the sake of beauty, it is best to choose vitiligo stable period before having children, so it is both good for patients and children, which can also reduce their burden with treatment.

In addition, females in daily life must pay attention to sunscreen work, at the same time, vitiligo patients in the process of treatment, must learn to adjust their mindset, and conduct the appropriate physical exercise, which is beneficial for the treatment of the disease.
