Cervical Cancer
Symptoms of Cervical Cancer
Precancerous changes and early cervical cancer often do not cause symptoms. The first symptom of cervical cancer is usually abnormal bleeding from the vagina, most often after sexual activity. Spotting or heavier bleeding may occur between periods, or periods may be unusually heavy. Large cancers are more likely to bleed and may cause a foul-smelling discharge from the vagina and pain in the pelvic area. If the cancer is widespread, it can cause lower back pain and swelling of the legs. The urinary tract may be blocked, and without treatment, Overview of Kidney Failure can result.
