Cervical Cancer Symptoms

Unfortunately, precancerous changes within the cervix cells and early stages of cervical cancer are asymptomatic. The symptoms occur when the cancer has reached an invasive stage or it has affected adjacent structures.

The most common signs and symptoms of cervical cancers include:

  • Abnormal vaginal bleeding.
  • An abnormal vaginal discharge that includes blood spots or light bleeding. This abnormal discharge occurs between periods.
  • A longer menstrual bleeding or an increased amount of blood is lost during menstruation.
  • Bleeding following intercourse, douching, a pelvic examination or after menopause.
  • Pain during intercourse.
  • Pelvic pain.

However, these symptoms can be caused by other medical conditions. Only a doctor can establish a cancer diagnosis.
