Monthly self-check reminders

Looking for monthly self-check reminders?

Everyone’s vulva looks, feels and smells differently. To identify symptoms of vulval cancer, it’s important for women and people with gynae organs to get to know what is normal for them. That way, it’s easier to spot if any changes occur that could be a symptom and need to be checked by a doctor or referred to a specialist. The earlier vulval cancer is found, the easier it is to treat and the more likely someone is to have a better outcome.

The symptoms of vulval cancer are a persistent vulval itch, pain or soreness around the vulva, thickened, raised, red, lighter or darker patches on the skin of the vulva, an open sore or growth visible on the skin, a mole on the vulva that changes shape or colour, a lump or swelling on the vulva.
