I am a 42 y/o female. I have noticed a change in my labia. It itches, burns when I urinate, it has a raised, color changed, texture changed area that takes up a good 1/2 of the left side of the labia and appears to go into the vaginal opening. Just saw a family practice DR., she is sending me to a specialist saying it was not a rash, definitely a growth.
Now for the questions:
I have no insurance, what might be some options for taking care of this?
Is it possible that it might be something other than labial cancer? Is there something else it could be? I have never, to my knowledge, had an std. I have had a hysterectomy. I have had the same partner for 16 years and he has never had an std.
Sorry for all these questions, just getting really freaked out by DR. and internet!
Thank you so very much.
