Vulva Cancer and ......

Hi I have had severre itching (unbearable) in the labia majora for months and months which comes with excess discharge, sore vagina, spotting inbetween periods, and sore on my groin, vulva and anus which never goes away no matter what cream I use!  I have been reading onl,in and also really concerned now as the open sores I have on my vulva etc area's I also have on the back of my neck, i've had this sore on the back of my neck for years and years and never thought anything of it, although my husband is always telling me to get it sorted but again I tried creams etc from the docs and nothing helps! I saw a gyno a few weeks ago and have been referred for a biopsy and vaginal ultrasound as they also think I have cells that are on my cervis which may need to be burned/iced away which causing the discharge as they can see a lot during examination.  I am so worried about it all and especially since reading about it can orginate from head or neck........can anyone help as this is all new to me and can they be linked????

  • Hi I am on here for a different reason but if it is any help I had similar symptoms for years and 20 + years ago a doctor gave me a biopsy which came back as VIN3 which is pre-cancerous I had half of my vulva removed very painful op but it grows back not quite the same but does not look odd.  The Vin came back after 5 years so a smaller op then was clear for 14 years, last year it came back in a small area again so once more under the knife and 3 monthly check ups with gynae oncology but so far so good.  Compared to other cancers on here it is probably the easiest to operate on and get rid of.  Also if the diagnosis is in VIN it does not usually progress to full blown cancer.  Hope this helps you and fingers crossed for your results xx

     

  • Thank you very much for your responce.  Sorry to hear about your history. What were your symptons of the Vulva? I'm unsure as to why the gyno needed to take 2 x biopsys (one from labia minora and one from labia mijora)?

     

    How long did you wait for your results?

     

    Thanks x

  • Hi Sbar

    Symptoms were similar to what you describe itching and also i had what looked like white bumpy patches.  Biopsy's were done all 3 times and geneally took a couple of weeks to come back.  I am sure there may be something on this site but the below thread explains what it is.  Symptoms and why they need to keep an eye on it.

  • Thank out for your advice, just one quick question:-

    since having the two biopsy on my vulva last Friday I have a dark blue/black stain on my vulva and it won’t come off? Do you know what this could be?
