Vulvar cancer (occasionally called vulval) is a cancer of the "vulva" -- the outer part of the female genitals. Risk factors include older age, HPV infection, and smoking. The first symptom is usually a non-healing sore on the vulva.
Typical Symptoms of Vulvar Cancer
- Bleeding in between menstrual cycles / periods or after menopause
- Black/blue/brown spots or moles, on the skin and lining of the mouth
- Itching around the genital area
- Ulcers over the genitals
- Pain around the vulva or vagina
- Sores or ulcers of the skin
- Swollen lymph nodes, usually small swellings in the groin
- White patches on skin
Diagnostic Questions for Vulvar Cancer
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Have you experienced vaginal bleeding or discharge outside of your periods or after menopause?
- Are there black, blue, or brown spots on your skin? (Including moles)
- Do you have any vaginal itching?
- Do you have sores or erosion in your private area?
- Do you have genital pain?
Treatment of Vulvar Cancer
A gynecologist or gynecologist-oncologist will confirm the diagnosis with a biopsy and will order scans to see if the cancer has spread. A treatment plan will be made based on factors like the extent of the disease and patient's overall condition. The main treatment options are surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy or a combination of these therapies.
