During a colposcopy, a specialised microscope is used to closely examine the cervix, va**na, and v***a. It remains outside the body, providing a clear, magnified view of the area. This procedure is often recommended after an abnormal cervical screening result or if there are symptoms such as unusual bleeding or discharge. It helps identify changes like pre-cancerous cells, infections, or other abnormalities so the right care can be provided early.

Lichen Sclerosus (LS) is a skin condition that is usually found around the ge***al area. Most common in women, it can start at any age, and it usually continues for life once it starts. LS shows as whitened skin around your v***a, perineum, and a**s. It can also show as lesions which look like bruises and blisters.
Lichen sclerosus is a precancerous condition, treatment of LS also involves ongoing monitoring by your gynaecologist. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to talk with your doctor about possible causes and treatment options. Visit the link in our bio to read more about LS

The best bath additive for v***ar conditions is a bath oil formulated for sensitive skin, or just a handful of plain salt. Avoid bubble bath, perfumed oils, medicated bath oils and antiseptics, and make sure your bath isn’t too hot. Abrasive washers, wet wipes, and douches should all be avoided – instead, try a soap substitute such as QV wash, or simply soak in the bath.
