Hello. I would like to know if vulvar lumps can come and go, and if the doctor can still screen you and get an accurate. Diagnosis without any lumps being present?

Hello @JayJay23‍, thank you for opening this discussion. If you're concerned about a lump or bump, please don't hesitate to get in touch with your doctor or gynecologist. In the meantime, let me tag some other members who can possibly weigh in.

Hi everyone, do you know if vulvar lumps can be a sign of cancer? Do they tend to come and go? Did you experience any before your diagnosis?

Yes it is please go to your obgyn asap! When I got the symptoms it was almost like gential warts looking raised spots that were like a off white color even though I didn't have genital wart that is what the spot looked like and it itched so so bad and they would bleed and sting really bad I always felt so dried out down there like no moisture at all please go get that checked it may be nothing but it never hurts to get if looked at best of luck to you xoxo

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
