Vulvar Biopsy?????: Good evening Jessica, it’s difficult to diagnose cancer by visualization from a physical exam. Diagnosis is made by a tested tissue sample (a biopsy). In your case, maybe your provider saw a suspicious lesion during your exam. Before you consent for the biopsy, you should have a detailed conversation with your provider about the findings on your exam.
