Question 1

does finding a black spot on your vaginal wall mean you have cancer?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: Because it is difficult for a woman to look inside her own vagina, a woman who thinks there is a new change on the surface of her vagina should have an exam by a primary care or ob-gyn doctor. If the spot looks non-cancerous, the doctor may choose to watch it over time. It the spot looks suspicious, the ob-gyn doctor can biopsy it to see what it looks like under a microscope.
