Study Summary

This trial measures the rate of vulvovaginitis in patients who need a vulvar surgery and how it relates to wound healing and infection. A swab will be taken before surgery, and the outcome will be checked by phone and physical exam.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with non-cancerous vulvar conditions needing surgery in central VA. Participants must not be pregnant, recently on antibiotics, have a history of cancer treatments within 3 years, or have immune system issues. They should be able to consent and not have uncontrolled diabetes or severe infections.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to measure the rate of infectious vulvovaginitis and its correlation with wound complications after surgical excision for premalignant lesions. Patients will be swabbed preoperatively to test for common causes like BV, trichomonas, and candida.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
There are no direct side effects from the interventions being studied since it involves diagnostic testing rather than treatment administration. However, potential risks may include discomfort from swabbing and standard surgical risks.
