What is a "Vulva Clinic"?
A Vulva Clinic is a specialty clinic run by experts to manage skin problems on and around the genital area of women.
Why do we need a vulva clinic?
Problems around the vulva region (the skin around, on and in the genital area) are common, and can lead to severe discomfort and embarrassment for the woman. This can often lead to marital disharmony. Women generally suffer in silence, ignore the problem until it gets very severe, or use home remedies which worsen the situation. Occasionally, problems which are neglected for several years can transform into cancers. Handling vulvar problems requires special diagnostic skills and experience. This is available at the highly specialized vulva clinic, the first of its kind in India.
