Overview

• There is no general screening programme for vaginal cancer because it’s a very rare condition.
• When you have a cervical screening test, the doctor or nurse does a routine examination of your vagina at the same time. They can pick up pre cancerous conditions such as vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN). Treatment for VAIN prevents vaginal cancer from developing.
