Symptoms of Cervical Cancer

The early stages of cervical cancer may have no obvious signs or symptoms. Here is where the danger lies as unless a woman does a Pap smear in time; there is no way of knowing whether the condition is developing. As the disease progresses untreated, the signs and symptoms of cervical cancer begin to surface:

Abnormal vaginal bleeding or bleeding that occurs between menstrual cycles or after intercourse
Periods suddenly become heavier and last for longer
Any type of bleeding after menopause
Bleeding during a pelvic exam
Bleeding after douching
Unusual heavy vaginal discharge that is pale or pink, brown, bloody or bad smelling
Continuous back pain
Pain while urinating
Fatigue
Leakage of waste from the vagina
Pain in the legs
Pain in the pelvis
Swelling in one leg
Bone fractures
Unexplained weight loss
