Hello Stork
I am sorry to hear that you have had a diagnosis of vulval cancer. I see that you have recently had surgery. I hope this has gone as expected.
I am sorry that you are still very sore in your vulval area and have some weeping blood from your wound. It sounds very painful. Have you spoken to your CNS for some advice? Perhaps this is something they may want to check to make sure that this is not signs of an infection ?There maybe also something that they can suggest to help with this and make you more comfortable while you continue to heal.
In the meantime I will pop a link below with some information about healing after the surgery.

I hope this helps a bit and that you can get some reassurance and support from your nurse.
Jane
