Vulvar Cancer: Anyone else?

Many women are exposed to HPV and have no symptoms.
Cancers can develop after many years since the time of exposure/infection. Have you asked your doctors if this is a possibility?

One more thing…I was diagnosed with “pre-cancerous lesions in the vulvar area and inside where my uterus was. (Had a hysterectomy)
They were removed surgically, and I was told to be examined every 3 years in case other lesions developed. I was diagnosed with HPV in the 1990’s and the pre-cancerous lesions were found more than 20 years later.
Hope this was helpful to you or any others with this issue.
