Common Vulval Problems:

1. Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (Yeast Infection): This fungal infection of the vulva and vagina can cause itching, burning, redness, and abnormal discharge. Dr. Murthy offers antifungal medications, topical creams, and lifestyle modifications to manage yeast infections effectively.
2. Vulvar Dermatitis: Vulvar dermatitis refers to inflammation of the vulva, often caused by irritants such as soaps, perfumes, or laundry detergents. Treatment may involve avoiding triggers, using gentle hygiene products, and applying topical corticosteroids or barrier creams.
3. Vulvar Lichen Sclerosus: Lichen sclerosus is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by white, thinning skin on the vulva, which may lead to itching, pain, and discomfort. Dr. Nirmala Murthy offers treatment options such as topical corticosteroids, immunomodulators, and regular monitoring to manage symptoms and prevent complications.
4. Vulvar Intraepithelial Neoplasia (VIN): VIN is a precancerous condition characterized by abnormal changes in vulvar cells, often associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Dr. Murthy may recommend treatments such as topical medications, laser therapy, or surgical excision to prevent progression to vulvar cancer.
5. Vulvar Cancer: Vulvar cancer is a rare but serious malignancy that may present with symptoms such as itching, pain, or a lump or sore on the vulva.
