Women with early cervical
cancers and pre-cancers usually have no symptoms. Symptoms often do not begin
until a pre-cancer becomes a true invasive cancer and proliferated to nearby
tissue. When this happens, the most common symptoms are:
i. Abnormal vaginal bleeding, such as bleeding after sex or vaginal
intercourse, bleeding after menopause, bleeding and spotting between periods,
and having longer or heavier menstrual periods than usual. Bleeding after
douching, or after a pelvic exam is a common symptom of cervical cancer but not
pre-cancer.
ii. Unusual discharge from the vagina, such as the discharge may contain blood and may
occur between your periods or after menopause. Pain during vaginal intercourse.
As the
cancer move to advanced stage, more and more symptoms will appear which
include:
ü Back

bleeding from the vagina
ü Leaking
of urine or feces from the vagina
