Cervical cancer occurs as a result of abnormal cell growth activity in the lower part of the uterus. The common condition results in bleeding and causes heightened sensitivity to the pelvic region. The most common cause for the condition is HPV (human papillomavirus), which normally occurs as a result of sexual contact.
A woman with cervical cancer symptoms may experience sporadic bleeding varying from heavy to light. The abnormal bleeding activity occurs in between periods. Sensitivity to the area can also cause light bleeding. Douching, sexual contact, and a pelvic exam can all initiate spotting.
Pain is another common problem associated with cervical cancer. Cervical cancer causes pain during urination in some women. Women also report experiencing pain during sexual intercourse. A dull pain or aching sensation to the pelvic region outside of normal menstrual activity are potential signs of cervical cancer.
Discharge is another cervical cancer symptom that women typically experience. The discharge is usually thick and accompanied by odor. The vaginal discharge may or may not be accompanied by blood. Often the fluid resembles regular vaginal discharge, but it is present in larger amounts. The vaginal discharge usually occurs outside of the normal menstruation, lasting for several days at a time for some.
Women with certain conditions are more susceptible to the disease. Women who smoke are more likely to develop the condition due to the byproducts present in the tobacco. Women with conditions that affect the immune system such as HIV have greater risks. Women who have had children as a younger teen are more at risk for developing cervical cancer. Family history is also a risk factor for cervical cancer.
Most of the new cervical cancer cases occur in women under the age of 50. In the earliest stages of the condition, there are few symptoms, making it difficult to detect in women who do not have routine pap smears. A routine pap smear makes earlier detection possible.
