Symptoms of cervical cancer don\u2019t start until the cancer gets bigger and spreads. However, the first recognizable symptoms may include:<\/p>\n

vaginal bleeding<\/h2>\n

Sometimes, cervical cancer mimics menstrual bleeding. People may notice a menstrual cycle that is longer or heavier than usual, or spotting or bleeding between periods. Bleeding that looks different in any way should be discussed with your healthcare provider.<\/p>\n

pelvic pain<\/h2>\n

Another sign to look out for is pain in the pelvic area. Some people may also experience back pain, especially in the lower back. This can also include severe pain or pressure anywhere around the lower abdomen (below the belly button).<\/p>\n

Vaginal discharge<\/h2>\n

Vaginal discharge is normal. However, the type of discharge that may be associated with cervical cancer may be red from a small amount of blood. It may also look pale, watery, brown and have a bad smell.<\/p>\n

Pain during Intercourse <\/h2>\n

Some people experience pain during sex, or bleed afterward. If this happens to you, be sure to visit your healthcare provider.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to note that these signs may also be other signs not related to cervical cancer. So, be sure to consult your healthcare provider, Choma, before assuming or diagnosing yourself.<\/p>\n

risk factor<\/p>\n

Many intercourse partners<\/h2>\n

The more sexual partners you have, the higher your chances of getting infected with human papillomavirus (HPV), the leading cause of cervical cancer.<\/p>\n

weakened immune system<\/h2>\n

You may be more likely to develop cervical cancer if your immune system is weakened by other health and lifestyle conditions, such as HIV\/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), or smoking.<\/p>\n

prevention<\/h2>\n

HPV vaccination<\/p>\n

If you think you are at risk for cervical cancer, be sure to ask your healthcare provider about the HPV vaccine. Getting vaccinated against HPV infection may reduce your risk of cervical cancer and other HPV-related cancers.<\/p>\n

Pap smear<\/h2>\n

It is important to have a routine Pap smear (once a year). Pap tests can detect cervical precancers so they can be monitored or treated to prevent cervical cancer. Health care providers recommend starting routine Pap tests at age 21 and repeating them annually, whether or not you are sexually active.<\/p>\n

Practice safe intercouse<\/h2>\n

Using condoms and limiting the number of sexual partners each time you have sex can reduce your risk of cervical cancer and prevent sexually transmitted infections.<\/p>\n

The key to early detection of cervical cancer is to be familiar with your body and understand your normal condition. This should include regular health checkups with your healthcare provider.<\/p>\n
