Vulval cancer

 

Vulval cancer is diagnosed in around 1350 women in the UK each year.1 Some inflammatory skin conditions may develop into vulval cancer. The risk of developing cancer is low. About 5% of women with these skin conditions will be diagnosed with a vulval cancer.

This resources developed by The British Society for Vulval Disease will show you how to perform a vulval self-examination to check for abnormalities. However, this is not a substitute for being examined by a health professional - so if you are concerned, please speak to your doctor.

Remember you can access more useful resources at The Vulval Pain Society.
