5 Symptoms Of Cervical Cancer You Should Be Aware Of

Most women do not have any signs or symptoms of a precancer. In many women with early-stage cervical cancer, symptoms are typically seen. In women with advanced and metastatic cancers, the symptoms may be more severe depending on the tissues and organs to which the disease has spread. The cause of a symptom may be a different medical condition that is not cancer, which is why women need to seek medical care if they have a new symptom that does not go away.

Any of the following could be signs or symptoms of cancer:

* Blood spots or light bleeding between or following periods

* Menstrual bleeding that is longer and heavier than usual

* Bleeding after intercourse, douching, or a pelvic examination

* Increased vaginal discharge

* Pain during sexual intercourse

* Bleeding after menopause

* Unexplained, persistent pelvic and/or back pain.
