1. NO DRUG THERAPY IN PRIMARY CARE (REFERRAL & ADVICE)    [1st line]
   Adult    Benign genital neoplasms include fibromas, lipomas, and hidradenomas of the vulva or
            vagina that present as painless, slow-growing masses. The primary care role is to
            perform a thorough pelvic examination, rule out infectious abscesses or malignancies,
            and reassure the patient. Refer to gynecology for biopsy or elective excision if the
            lesion causes discomfort, bleeds, or changes in appearance. - Refer, with advice
   Peds     Children follow the same pathway: recognise and refer. No primary-care medicine is
            implied.
