The C Word
It’s time for the dreaded talk. The C word talk. That’s right, Cancer.
I know, I know. I want to stop writing this, and just pretend it never existed. But, it is said that vulvar cancer is usually curable if found at an early stage. So, why not educate yourself and be ahead of the game!?
It may seem “scary,” but it is our reality. Lichen Sclerosus makes us more susceptible to gynecological cancers, and it’s nothing to be upset or sad about. It is simply something to be aware of! Never forget that you are vulvastrong! You can overcome and conquer situations unimaginable to most. Be proud of yourself you vulva goddess! Today is another day to take control of those wild lady bits that have a mind of their own. Because between you and me, I’m over her thinking SHE can control ME! Not today honey!!
So what do you have to look out for? Some changes to be aware of are color changes, bumps, bleeding, and/or nonstop itching of the vulva.. A small purple skin change could be an important sign you don’t want to miss.
If you find any of these signs, don’t panic! Deep breaths, all will be okay.
Call your OBGYN and let them know whenever they open next. They will set up an appointment with you, and get to the bottom of it!
