Thread: New and Frightened beyond belief

What color is it?

its a dark brown/ purple-ish from what I can see.

Some women are pink down there, some are brownish, some are greyish, some are bluish, some are purplish. Honestly, there's just so much variation there. Obviously your OBGYN sees lots of them, so if it sparked an interest it's prob best he did the biopsy to be safe rather than sorry. Vulvar cancer is something that develops over time usually slowly and is accompanies with itching and burning, bleeding that is not your menstrual cycle, or a lump. Is your discoloration in one spot, like a lump or lesion, or is your entire vulvar area the dark brown purplish color?

I know the anticipation and worry is driving you bonkers, but try to relax. Having an abnormal pap sometimes is not all that uncommon in women. I had one once, he told me it was mild inflammation of the cervix and when he checked again, all was fine. So your doctor is prob just being extra cautious. Worry is wasteful, and won't change the outcome. Try to keep yourself busy!!! Good luck, hoping for good results.

Well, he told me he did the biopsy because the HAD to which makes sense and I appreciate it (despite that it really did hurts and its finally healing). Better safe than sorry. There's no lump or lesion and its on the labia minora and leading up to and around the "fun button" and I like to refer it to. Everything else is a pale pink. I was worried about the pap smear but now that I'm in the clear I'm fine about it...its this minor issue that I'm now having. I try to relax and sometimes I do accomplish it while there are times I'm a nervous wreck.
