Vaginal Cancer
Book AppointmentVaginal cancer is a rare type of cancer that forms in the tissues of the vagina, the muscular tube that connects the uterus to the external genitalia. It most commonly occurs in older women but can affect women of any age.
The disease often does not cause symptoms in its early stages, making regular gynecological examinations crucial for early detection. Risk factors for vaginal cancer include infection with human papillomavirus (HPV), a history of cervical cancer, smoking, and long-term vaginal irritation.
