Cervical cancer: warning signs not to ignore

Most often, this cancer causes no symptoms at first. But as it progresses, certain signs may appear:

 

Bleeding outside of menstruation, after sexual intercourse, or after menopause.

Unusual vaginal discharge: heavy, smelly, or abnormally colored.

Persistent pelvic or lumbar pain, not related to the menstrual cycle.

Discomfort or bleeding during sexual intercourse.

Urinary problems: sensation of incomplete emptying or presence of blood in the urine.

If you notice any of these symptoms, it is important to consult your gynecologist promptly.
