Finding vaginal cancer early
When vaginal cancer is found and treated early, the chances of successful treatment are better. Get regular health checkups and see your doctor if you have any symptoms or are worried about your health.
You may be embarrassed or uncomfortable talking to your healthcare team about your vagina, but you don't need to be. They are used to answering questions and addressing concerns about all body parts.
If you have a higher than average risk, you may need to visit your doctor more often to check for vaginal cancer. Talk to your doctor about tests that can help find vaginal cancer early, including the following:
- Pap test
- pelvic exam
-
colposcopy - HPV test
