Also an attempt was made to know the level of awareness among the patients studied and the level of psychological impact on the affected persons before they were diagnosed as anon venerealdermatoses.Methods: A study was conducted among 125 patients who attended the STI Clinic in a tertiary care center in a period of 6 months. Detailed history was taken along with complete physical examination and local examination.Results: 125 patients attended the STI Clinic. Among them 75 patients [40 males and 35 females] were diagnosed to have Non venereal genital dermatoses. A total of 14 different non venereal dermatoses were observed in our study The commonest age group affected were in the age group of 30-40 year. The most common non-venereal dermatoses in females in our study were Lichen sclerosuset atrophicus and in males were fixed drug eruptions Pearly penile papules. Mild anxiety and concern about the genital lesions were found in almost all the males and females.Conclusions: A prompt and correct diagnosis of non-venereal genital dermatoses needs a greater clinical acumen along with various investigative methods Patient must be treated as a whole rather than treating the disease alone.

“…Lichen sclerosis has 4% to 6% of the possibility of the development of VC. 9 In this study obesity, VNED, HPV infection, Hypertension, Diabetes mellitus, and history of genital surgery accounted for 33 cases (38.82%), 25 cases (29.41%), 4 cases (12.9%), 10 cases (11.16%), 13 cases (15.29%), and 23 cases (27.06%) respectively. By statistical analysis VC occurrence, VNED and HPV infection had no significant correlation with sample size, considering the possibility of fewer and lower rates of HPV screening.…”

Background: The purpose of this study is to understand the incidence, related factors, and the prognosis factors in order to avoid risk, proper method of diagnosis and treatment and reduce complications and provide the basis. Methods: 85 Vulvar cancer (VC) patients treated in our hospital from 2002.10 to 2012.10 were collected and analyzed by retrospective comparative methods. SPSS19.0 application software was used for the statistical analysis. The clinical data are analyzed by chi-square and F test statistic methods. P < 0.05 was a significant difference between the judgment standard. Results: During 10 years, we treated 3391 cases of the primary malignant tumors including 85 VC cases; VC was 2.89% (85/3391). The age was between 24~88 years old, mean was 57.09±12.93 yrs. old, variable age of the VC had been juvenescence trend (F=6. 013, P=0.016). The differences between the urban and rural residential area have some influence to the onset of VC. Rural patients are more than urban patients. By statistical analysis, region distribution in these two groups was remarkably different=4.16,P=0.045<0.05, but the urban proportion of patients in different years has no difference (χ2=0.080, P=0.777). Conclusion: The number of cases increased progressively in young age. VC patients were more in rural area than urban. History of malignant tumor and obesity has the positive correlation with VC. High-risk groups should be alert to the possibility of VC. Preoperative diagnosis should be Colposcopic, biopsy in order to improve the accuracy of earlier diagnosis. Vulvar resects have an effect on the healing of the incision. Follow-up rate is low; It is difficult to say statistically survival rate is 5 years.
