This is some great information ladies. The more you know about the signs and symptoms the faster you can act.
VULVAR CANCER: KNOW THE SIGNS - KNOW THE RISKS
Vulvar cancer is often underdiagnosed and diagnosed late, but early detection saves lives. Too many symptoms are ignored or dismissed — let’s change that.
✨ COMMON SYMPTOMS ✨
• Persistent itching or burning of the v***a
• Pain, tenderness, or soreness
• A lump, bump, wart-like growth, or thickened skin
• Moles
• Skin color changes (lighter, darker, red, or inflamed areas)
• Open sores or ulcers that don’t heal
• Bleeding or discharge not related to your period
• Pain during urination or interc*urse
⚠️ RISK FACTORS ⚠️
• HPV (Human Papillomavirus)
• Smoking
• Lichen Sclerosus
• Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
• Increasing age (but younger women are affected too)
• Vulvar Pre-Cancer (VIN)
🩺 Listen to your body.
If something doesn’t feel right, advocate for yourself and see a healthcare provider. Vulvar symptoms are never “normal” when they persist.
