Confused

I had a vulva biopsy 2 weeks ago and just had the results which is VIN3, it is suggested I have a vulvoscopy and have an appointment with a general surgeon next week.

im confused, isn’t a vulvoscopy a biopsy of the vulva which I have already had ?

the appointment letter doesn’t say what it’s for but the results letter said arranging a vulvoscopy 

I now have to wait and see what happens when I go to the appointment which is very frustrating 

anyone else had anything similar? X

  • Hi Debz

    A vulvoscopy is an examination of the vulva using a special microscope and some staining solution (which might sting a bit) to see if there are any more abnormal areas. 

    I've had biopsies, vulvoscopy's and a vulvectomy in the past so if you have any more questions please feel free to message me. 

    Xx

  • Thank you for replying
