Vaginal Cancer
Vaginal cancer is uncommon, but persistent bleeding, discharge or a vaginal lump needs medical assessment.
Symptoms are not a diagnosis
These symptoms can have several causes, including non-cancer conditions. An examination helps identify whether further testing is needed.
Testing
A biopsy may be recommended for an abnormal area. If cancer is confirmed, further investigations help determine its extent before treatment is planned.
Specialist support
Treatment is individualized and may include radiotherapy, medicines or surgery. Discuss symptom relief, sexual health, recovery and follow-up with the treating team.
This information supports a discussion with your doctor. Suitability, availability and any specialist referral should be confirmed with the hospital. Individual care plans and outcomes vary.
