Cervical Cancer Symptoms
Symptoms of cervical cancer usually do not appear until abnormal cervical cells become cancerous and invade nearby tissue.
The most common symptom is abnormal bleeding, which may:
- start and stop between regular menstrual periods.
- occur after sexual intercourse, douching or a pelvic exam.
Other symptoms may include:
- heavier menstrual bleeding, which may last longer than usual
- bleeding after menopause
- increased vaginal discharge
- pain during intercourse
The symptoms of cervical cancer may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
