Spotting the Signs of Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer doesn’t always cause symptoms; in many cases, women don’t know they have the disease until a screening test uncovers signs of cancer. In some cases, however, the following symptoms can signal cervical cancer:
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding or menstrual cycle changes.
- Bleeding during sex or when you insert a diaphragm.
- Pain during sex.
- Continuous vaginal discharge, which might be bloody, watery, and foul-smelling.
If you experience any of the above symptoms, see your doctor immediately.
