Vulvoscopy
A vulvoscopy is an examination of the vulval skin using a telescope. It is performed for the investigation of vulval itching or pain or irritation and to rule out pre-cancer of the vulva. The examination does not hurt but the application of the stain may cause a stinging sensation. The examination is performed in less than 5 minutes.
Who is it for?
A colposcopy is for women who have:
- Persistent vulval itching
- Vulval pain or irritation
Or for
- Further investigation of skin conditions such as lichen sclerosis or lichen planus.
- To rule out pre-cancer of the vulva caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)
