The Vulva
Vol. 27 No 2 | Winter 2025
The Winter 2025 edition of O&G Magazine centres on the vulva—anatomically vital, often misunderstood, and still burdened by stigma. This issue explores the diagnosis and management of vulval conditions across the lifespan, including lichen sclerosus, benign lesions, paediatric presentations and postmenopausal changes. It also considers the social and psychological dimensions of vulval health, with contributions from psychosexologist Chantelle Otten, artist Jamie McCartney, and advocate Kath Mazzella OAM, whose personal story as a vulval cancer survivor underscores the importance of open dialogue to support earlier diagnosis. Together, these voices highlight the need for clearer language, greater cultural sensitivity, and more inclusive, confident care in a frequently overlooked area of women’s health.
