Vulval disease refers to a collection of medical conditions that affect the external female genitalia, including the labia, clitoris, and vaginal opening. These conditions can cause discomfort, pain, itching, and other distressing symptoms, which can significantly impact a woman's quality of life. It is crucial to seek timely medical attention to accurately diagnose and treat these conditions effectively.
Common symptoms of Vulval Disease
Consistent itching on the vulvar area
Pain and tenderness that doesn’t go away
Bleeding that does not come from menstruation
Thickening and change in color of the skin
Bumps and open sores on the vulva
If you're experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above, it's important to promptly seek medical attention from a gynaecologist. Regular gynaecology visits can help diagnose vulvar cancer if you have painful or irritating symptoms. Diagnosis typically involves examinations, magnification, and biopsies where a sample is taken from the affected area and sent to the lab for analysis.
