Vulval Biopsy in London

A vulval biopsy is a minor procedure performed to investigate persistent vulval symptoms or skin changes that cannot be diagnosed by examination alone. It involves removing a very small sample of tissue from the affected area, which is then examined under a microscope to identify the underlying cause. A vulval biopsy is often the most reliable way of confirming a diagnosis, helping distinguish between inflammatory skin conditions, precancerous abnormalities, vulval cancer, and other disorders, so that the most appropriate treatment can be recommended with confidence.
