Symptoms of cervical cancer that you should never ignore.

Cervical cancer often develops slowly, and early stages may not cause noticeable symptoms. However, the following symptoms should never be ignored:

🚩 Common Warning Signs

1. Abnormal vaginal bleeding
   • Bleeding between periods
   • Bleeding after sex
   • Bleeding after menopause
   • Heavier or longer periods than usual
2. Unusual vaginal discharge
   • Watery, pink, or foul-smelling discharge
   • Discharge mixed with blood
3. Pelvic pain
   • Persistent pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis
   • Pain during intercourse
4. Pain during urination or bowel movements
   • Especially if persistent or worsening
5. Advanced symptoms (if cancer spreads)
   • Back or leg pain
   • Swelling in one or both legs
   • Fatigue
   • Unexplained weight loss

⚠️ Important

These symptoms do not always mean cancer—they can be caused by infections or other conditions—but they should be evaluated by a healthcare provider promptly.

🩺 Prevention & Early Detection

• Regular Pap smears and HPV testing
• HPV vaccination
• Avoiding smoking (increases risk)
