Vulval Biopsy at Sriram Hospitals

A vulval biopsy is a simple medical procedure in which a small sample of skin or tissue is taken from the vulva — the external area of the female genitalia — for laboratory examination. It helps in diagnosing various skin changes, infections, inflammatory conditions, and early signs of cancer.
 

At Sriram Hospitals, our gynecologists and dermatology specialists perform vulval biopsies with utmost care, ensuring patient comfort, privacy, and accurate diagnosis.
