Cervical cancer develops from a pre-cancerous condition known as dysplasia. It starts in the cervix, the lower part of a woman’s womb or uterus. The vast majority of cases of cervical cancer are caused by the human papilloma virus, more commonly known as the HPV. If untreated, it spreads slowly to other parts of the body, literally taking years to do so in most cases. People with cervical cancer do not usually find themselves bothered by it until it has spread to other parts of the body.
Symptoms of cervical cancer include:
* continuous discharge from the vagina. These discharges are usually pale, watery, pink, brown, bloody or foul smelling.
* Abnormal vaginal bleeding between monthly periods, after sexual intercourse or after the woman has gone through menopause.
* A definite change in the heaviness and length of monthly periods.
* The start of bleeding after the end of menopause.
* Loss of appetite.
* Unexplainable loss in weight.
* Unexplainable frequent times of fatigue.
* Pelvic pain.
* Back pain.
* Swelling in just one leg.
* Urine or feces leaking from the vagina.
* A definite increase in the tendency to experience bone fractures. Continue reading ‘Information of Cervical Cancer’ »
