7. Diagnosis

Your doctor will need to ask you about your symptoms, and they may also wish to perform a physical exam of your genital region. This will include a close examination of the vulva to help look for any signs of cancer or other medical conditions, and a specialized device will be used to help them inspect more closely.

If something suspicious looking is found, then a biopsy will likely be taken for further examination. If vulvar cancer is detected then it will be necessary to see how far the cancer has spread. This will include a more thorough examination of the pelvic region, while imaging techniques can also be used to look for signs of cancer elsewhere in the body.
