9 Most Dangerous Signs Of Cervical Cancer Women Ignores

One of the scariest things about cancer is that it does not show any symptoms in its early stages. After the disease has spread different parts of your body, the symptoms are more prominent.

Therefore, early detection of cancer could help curing the disease.

What makes the cancer so scary is the fact that there aren’t any symptoms in the early stages of its development, but they become more distinct once it has spread to the liver, intestines, bladder or lungs.

Below are the

9 early warning signs of cervical cancer women shouldn't ignore:

Abnormal Vagnal Bleeding

Abnormal vag*nal bleeding between periods, after intercourse, or after menopause. Although this could be due to other medical conditions, it is a telltale sign of possible cervical cancer.

Unusual Vag*nal Discharge

This could be a result of  bacterial vaginosis, menopause symptoms, or yeast infection. If the smell is very foul, becomes a more common occurrence, or is brownish, heavy, pale, or blood-tinged, it could be a sign of cervical cancer.

Discomfort While Urinating

Pain during urination can be a sign of cervical cancer, this is a symptom that usually occurs when the cancer has already spread to the bladder.

Pain During Intercourse

Pain during intercourse can be a late onset symptom of cervical cancer, and could indicate that the cancer has spread throughout the reproductive organs and tissues.

Heavier & Longer Menstrual Periods

Abnormal and heavier menstrual periods are another sign of cervical cancer. Irritation of the cervix, possibly due to cervical cancer, can also occur.

Loss of Bladder Control

Bladder control is a big issue when it comes to cervical cancer, and it’s one area of the body where cervical cancer commonly spreads.

Body Pain

A common symptom of cervical cancer is body pains, more specifically, pain in the leg, back, and/or pelvis. Women with cervical cancer often experience swelling of the legs, because the cancer spreads and obstructs blood flow.

Constant Fatigue

Constant fatigue could also be a sign, especially if it is in conjunction with some of the other symptoms mentioned in this article.

Unexplained Weight Loss

The body produces small proteins called cytokines, which break down fat at a much higher rate than normal. This leads to weight loss, irrespective of your diet, when you are fighting disease. As with many other cancers, the same applies here.
