Anyone with vulvar cancer?

@mabosh: Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect; a open forum for you to discuss your concerns, seek recommendations and share your experience.

I'm wondering if this is the medical condition you're inquiring about, a slight difference in spelling: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/vulvar-cancer/symptoms-causes/syc-20368051.

This area refers to the external female genitalia. If cancer has been detected in the area, accompanying symptoms can include a constant, foul smelling odor. While seeking/obtaining care for the underlying issue, it's best to cleanse the area with warm water - no soap due to the possibilty of irritation. For the same reason, avoid douching or scented vaginal products. Underwear should be cotton, breathable material and avoid anything tight around the genitals, ideally sleeping without any constrictive garments at night.

Is an oncologist currently involved in providing treatment?

@grammato3 yes same symptoms waitingbto start radiation in may unfortunately I have done almost the things you mentioned but the foul smell keeps on getting worse yhooooo

@mabosh That must be uncomfortable for you. There's another possibility to consider, a medication you can ask your medical provider about: metronidazole gel 0.75% applied externally that can be helpful at reducing odors related to this type of condition.

Would you feel comfortable inquiring about this?

@grammato3 very I've even lost confidence at this point im ready to try everything to improve the condition im in
