Explanation

"Dysplasia of the vulva" refers to a medical condition where the skin cells in the vulva, the external part of a woman's genitals, grow abnormally. This abnormal growth is not cancer, but it can sometimes develop into cancer if left untreated. The condition can cause symptoms like itching, pain, or changes in the color or texture of the skin. It's usually diagnosed through a physical exam and a biopsy, which is a test that checks for abnormal cells.
