I posted before because I found a lump/ closed ulcer type thing in January on my outer vulva area. My doctor seemed quite concerned when she saw it.
initially she was reassured because there was no pain or itching but since it’s got itch and feels like it’s tingling a lot so I’m panicking now.
I have an appointment with gynaecology what should I expect? Do they just take a look, if it needs a biopsy would they do that at a later appointment?
Hi Bambiboo,
I totally understand your worries.
When I saw the gynaecologist I had already had my biopsy as I saw a dermatologist first. I didn’t have a biopsy at my first appointment, I was sent a separate appointment to go back. I’m sure I’ve read that the biopsy can be done on the day though so perhaps it depends on the consultant/hospital/clinic.
Good luck for tomorrow. Please do let us know how you get on.
