Vulval Cancer

Vulval cancer is diagnosed in over 1000 women in Britain each year. 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 suberb leaflet produced 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.
