Vaginal Cancer
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Vaginal cancer is a growth of malignant cells in the tissues that form the vaginal canal. It is uncommon and can originate in the vagina itself or spread from nearby structures.
When to see a doctor? It is advisable to seek care given vaginal bleeding outside of menstruation or after menopause, unusual discharge, discomfort when urinating, or a sensation of a lump. An early evaluation usually makes follow-up easier.
Frequent symptoms: Abnormal bleeding, persistent discharge, pelvic pain, or pain during intercourse.
Which specialist treats it? The initial evaluation is usually handled by a gynecologist or obstetrician, and when cancer is confirmed or suspected the gynecologic oncologist, the oncologist, and the radiation oncologist take part. If you notice any of these signs, the most sensible thing is to discuss it with a professional who can guide you in a personalized way.
