Abstract

Vulvar lesions may cause pain but are often asymptomatic. Identifying the type of lesion and the appropriate treatment course is an important role of the GP.

Key Points
  • Women are often embarrassed to discuss vulvar problems with their GPs.
  • Careful and sensitive examination is required to determine the exact location of the lesion.
  • Determining the location of the lesion can assist with diagnosis.
  • Treatment, if needed, may require referral of the patient to a specialist.
