Vulvar Cancer
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
First of all, it is worth knowing that vulvar cancer is a type of malignant tumor that originates in the external tissues of the female genitals. It is uncommon and is usually identified through examination and targeted studies.
Symptoms that may appear: persistent itching or burning, a lesion or ulcer that does not heal, changes in skin color, or a lump in the vulvar area.
When to see a doctor? Vulvar discomfort that lasts or any lesion that does not heal deserves a professional review.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologic oncologist and the oncologist lead the care, with support from the radiation oncologist and other professionals depending on each case; a general practitioner can guide the first contact. Addressing these signs in time is key, so seeking evaluation at any change is the most sensible thing.
