A member asked:

What does ulceration in vagina mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get an exam...: The list of things that cause vaginal ulcers is pretty short. If it is a painful ulcer, the most likely cause is herpes. Syphilis causes a painless ulceration. There are a number of other causes. You could drive yourself crazy wondering about it. The best thing to do is see your Gyn and have it evaluated. Best wishes!
