Symptoms of advanced cervical cancer

Many female friends may have heard of advanced cervical cancer, but they are not very clear about the symptoms of advanced cervical cancer. Understanding the symptoms of advanced cervical cancer can help patients better accept treatment. The following will introduce the common symptoms of advanced cervical cancer.

In general, common symptoms of advanced cervical cancer include:

1. Pain is one of the most common symptoms in patients with advanced cervical cancer.

As tumor cells extend, invade the pelvic wall, and compress peripheral nerves, patients with advanced cervical cancer will experience persistent pain in the sciatic nerve or one side of the sacral or iliac region. Tumors compress or erode the ureter, causing narrowing and obstruction of the ureter, leading to hydronephrosis. In the advanced stage of cervical cancer, symptoms include one side of the waist pain, or even severe pain, which further develops into renal failure, leading to more severe symptoms such as uremia.

2. Metastasis symptoms will appear in the late stage of cervical cancer.

Experts say that cancer usually spreads forward and can invade the bladder. Patients with advanced cervical cancer experience frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, prolapse and hematuria, which are often misdiagnosed as urinary tract infections and delayed diagnosis. In severe cases, bladder-vaginal fistulas may form. Cancer spreads backward and can invade the rectum, causing symptoms of advanced cervical cancer such as prolapse, difficulty defecating, tenesmus, and blood in the stool. Further development may lead to vaginal-rectal fistulas. Distant metastasis may occur in the late stage of cervical cancer. Different sites of metastasis will produce different symptoms. The most common is supraclavicular lymph node metastasis, where nodules or lumps appear. In the late stage of cervical cancer, tumor infiltration can spread to distant organs through blood vessels or lymphatic systems, resulting in metastatic lesions in corresponding sites and their corresponding symptoms.
