Early cervical cancers usually don't cause symptoms. When the cancer grows larger, women may notice one or more of these symptoms:
Abnormal vaginal bleeding
•Bleeding that occurs between regular menstrual periods
•Bleeding after sexual intercourse, douching, or a pelvic exam
•Menstrual periods that last longer and are heavier than before
•Bleeding after going through menopause
Increased vaginal discharge
•Pelvic pain
•Pain during sex
Infections or other health problems may also cause these symptoms. Only a doctor can tell for sure. A woman with any of these symptoms should tell her doctor so that problems can be diagnosed and treated as early as possible.
