Vaginal Cancer
Symptoms and Signs of Vaginal Cancer
Most patients with vaginal cancer present with abnormal intermenstrual vaginal bleeding, often postmenopausal or postcoital. Some also present with a watery vaginal discharge or dyspareunia. Few patients are asymptomatic, and the lesion is discovered during routine pelvic examination or evaluation of an abnormal Papanicolaou (Pap) test. Vesicovaginal or rectovaginal fistulas are manifestations of advanced disease.
