About vulvoscopy
A vulvoscopy is a diagnostic examination where a specialist closely inspects the vulva using a magnifying instrument called a colposcope to identify abnormalities, skin conditions or areas requiring further investigation. It's one of the most common specialist vulval examinations in the UK, often used to investigate symptoms such as itching, pain, skin changes or suspicious lesions.
Privately, a vulvoscopy in the UK typically costs between £250 and £800, depending on the specialist, clinic and whether a biopsy is required.
What affects the cost of a vulvoscopy:
- Procedure complexity — examinations requiring detailed assessment or multiple areas of concern may take longer.
- Biopsy requirements — tissue samples sent for laboratory analysis can significantly increase the cost.
- Clinic & location — private gynaecology fees are generally higher in London and other major cities.
- Additional consultations — follow-up appointments, pathology reports or further investigations can add to the total cost.
Most clinics quote a "from" price, so confirm the full fee — including consultations, biopsy analysis and follow-up care — before booking.
