Cervical Cancer

Cervical Cancer - Symptoms

What are the symptoms of cervical cancer?

Early-stage cervical cancer generally has no signs and symptoms. Signs and symptoms of more advanced cervical cancer include:

Irregular or abnormal vaginal bleeding – after sexual intercourse, between periods or after menopause
Watery, bloody vaginal discharge with a foul odour
Pelvic pain or pain during sexual intercourse

When should you see a doctor?

Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience any abnormal vaginal bleeding or if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you.

Any bleeding or spotting after menopause is abnormal. Consult a doctor if you experience this.
