It all started 2 years ago with bladder problems. After going through lots of tests it came out that they were not sure what was going on but that they thought it was Urethral Syndrome. Also for the last couple of years I have been having what I thought were reaccurent yeast infections. I think I was wrong!!!! :rolleyes:
About 3 weeks ago I went to my Gyno. because I had swelling of the vulva,bleeding,red,and my skin was raw. She did a yeast test and it came back neg. She put me on high doses of steroids and to this day it is still not totally better. She tought I had Dermitiis. I talked to my doc. on Fri. and she said to use the steroids a week more and then she will want to do a biopsy. She thinks it could be Cancer of the vulva
:eek:
So my question is,first off am I posting in the right place (I am new here),secondly has anyone gotten this type of biopsy done and has anyone ever had vulva cancer. Also I forgot to add that I have whit bumps,almost like goose bumps down there and the skin is rough. So, I am thinking that maybe my bladder problems are related because they say it can spread to the urethra.
The only thing is is that all my pap smears have come out fine in the past. I have not had one since last year andlast year I had a catscan done and it was fine. Now the cancer may not have been there yet.
Any help would be great ASAP as I may get this biopsy done tom.!!!

Hi NannyJLove - and welcome to the board. I'm afraid I can't help you with your problem but I think you will get more responses if you move this to the "Breast, Cervical and Ovarian" message board. You can also do a search and it will pull up everything that has been posted on vulva cancer. I did - and there are a lot of women who seem to be suffering the same thing as you.

I sure hope you find the help you need - I'll be praying for you. Take Care...Scarlett

Thanks for signing. I moved the post to that board and will see if I get any responses. Thanks again!!!!

Just wanted to let you know that my mum had cancer of the vulva about 3 years ago. She hd had the tumour for a few moths and thought it was a boil but when it didn't pop or clear she went to the doctor.

She had surgery and had the tumour removed and in her case there was no further treatement required although she has regular check ups.

I will be thinking of you and hoping that your biopsy comes back negative.
