Vulvar cancer concerns!

 Hi,

Im a little concerned about what’s going on in the down stairs area vagina! 

Little bit of history; For months now I would even say it’s been over a year now, Iv been experiencing chronic  itchiness and very sore! Iv been having the occasional bleeding despite not having periods (haven’t had the for years), a lot of pain the pelvic, vaginal area and intercourse is none extisting due to the pain and bleeding! I have been to the doctors who carried out loads of tests for infection, thrush and any sti stds which all came back clear! So I was referred to geocologist who looked at my cervix and preformed a colposcopy with biopsy’s that came back low grade changes so I know my symptoms aren’t down to cervical cancer! Any way my symptoms are getting worse and unbareable so I’m back this week! Iv have Googled my symptoms (I know I shouldn’t) sonim a little worried now.

What I was wondering is can anyone who has been diagnosed with vulvar cancer tell me what it looked like? Only I  have had a look my self and have noticed there’s changes to appearance and that there is some areas that are lumped! Could anyone tell me what there experiences are? 

Thank you in advance 

 

also forgot to mention that I have problem urinating with pain and burning and also needing to a lot. I don’t have a water infection either so it’s all confusing
