What are the main symptoms of cervical cancer

What are the main symptoms of cervical cancer? I believe many people have this question. Only by understanding its symptoms can we detect the disease earlier and treat it better. Let us follow the experts to learn about the symptoms of cervical cancer .

Vaginal bleeding: Young patients often present with contact bleeding, which occurs during sexual intercourse, gynecological examinations, and after defecation. The amount of bleeding can be more or less, generally depending on the size of the lesion and the extent of invasion of the interstitial blood vessels. In the early stage, the amount of bleeding is small, while in the late stage, the larger lesions will present with heavy bleeding, which may cause fatal hemorrhage once the larger blood vessels are eroded. Young patients may also present with prolonged menstruation, shortened cycle, and increased menstrual flow. Elderly patients often complain of irregular vaginal bleeding after menopause. This is a symptom of cervical cancer.

Vaginal discharge: Patients often complain of increased vaginal discharge, which is white or bloody, thin like water or rice soup, and has a fishy smell. In the late stage, due to the rupture of cancerous tissue, tissue necrosis, secondary infection, etc., there is a large amount of purulent or rice soup-like foul-smelling leucorrhea.

Symptoms of advanced cancer: secondary symptoms appear according to the scope of invasion of the lesion. When the lesion spreads to the pelvic connective tissue, pelvic wall, compresses the ureter or rectum, and sciatic nerve, patients often complain of frequent urination, urgency, anal distension, constipation, tenesmus, lower limb swelling and pain, etc. In severe cases, ureteral obstruction, hydronephrosis, and finally uremia may occur. At the end of the disease, patients may experience weight loss, anemia, fever, and systemic failure. This is also a symptom of advanced cervical cancer.
