VIN 3

Hi I'm a 61yr old woman who was diagnosed 5 years ago with VIN 3. It was treated originally with cream and regular checkups. The area has become really itchy again and the Dr has suggested surgery. Anyone else here with any experience of vaulvel surgery please?

  • Hello eloracb

    I'm sorry to hear that following regular checkups for VIN3, your doctor has now recommended surgery. It's understandable that you may have some questions and concerns about this. 

    We have some information on our website about surgery for VIN that you may find helpful. While I can't see that we have any other ladies who have been through treatment with VIN active on the forum, there are quite a few older posts that you may want to read through. You can find these posts by looking for the term VIN in the forum search function at the top of the page. 

    If it would help to talk with one of our nurses for some advice and support, you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    Sending my best wishes,
