10 Vulvar Cancer Symptoms
Symptom #6: Lump On The Vulva
A lump or a swelling on the vulva can develop for various reasons. These lumps and bumps can often cause discomfort, pain, and anxiety. Some of the causes of lumps on the vulva include vulvar cysts, vaginal cysts, Fordyce spots, ingrown hair, skin tags, warts, and cancer.
Women who experience a lump on the vulva should seek professional opinion especially if they have risk factors for cancer such as smoking, increasing age, human papillomavirus infection, positive family history, or a history of lichen sclerosus. Women should see a doctor upon discovery of the lump as early diagnosis and treatment can greatly improve prognosis.
