Vulval Tumour Removal in Windhoek

About this service

Vulval tumour removal in Windhoek is surgery to remove a large benign growth of the vulva that has become uncomfortable or is causing concern. While most such growths are not cancerous, removal is often recommended when a tumour is large, growing, or affecting daily comfort, and it allows the tissue to be examined to confirm the diagnosis. Your doctor will discuss what is known about the growth and what to expect from surgery.

Eastgate Clinic performs vulval tumour removal in our on-site day theatre with discretion and care. If you have questions about vulval tumour removal in Windhoek, our team at Eastgate Clinic is happy to talk you through what to expect and how to prepare.

What to expect

• An examination, and sometimes a biopsy, helps plan the surgery beforehand
• The procedure is performed under general or regional anaesthesia
• Surgery time depends on the size and extent of the growth
• Some swelling, tenderness and discharge in the area is normal during initial healing
• Removed tissue is usually sent for examination, and your doctor will discuss the results
