What are the symptoms of cervical cancer?

Cervical cancer can have no symptoms in the early stage, but after the disease progresses, patients with cervical cancer may have abnormal vaginal bleeding. Young women with cervical cancer are more prone to bleeding during sexual intercourse due to relatively high estrogen level. About 80% of cervical cancer patients may have abnormal leukorrhea, such as increased leukorrhea, thick leukorrhea and leukorrhea with foul smell. It takes about 10 years for cervical cancer to manifest itself from the early stage of the disease to obvious symptoms. Patients with cervical cancer may not only have bleeding during intercourse, but may also have small amounts of vaginal bleeding after passing stool. Cervical cancer can be cauliflower type, this type of patient often bleeds at an early stage and the bleeding volume is relatively large. In the advanced stage, the cancer can involve large blood vessels, which may lead to life-threatening hemorrhage. As cervical cancer tends to bleed repeatedly and for a long period of time, the patient is prone to anemia, which will lead to pale face, lack of strength, loss of appetite, weight loss, dizziness and other systemic symptoms. Leukorrhea of cervical cancer patients with prolonged vaginal bleeding will be like rice soup and have fishy odor. When cervical cancer reaches the advanced stage, the cancerous tumor may break down and lead to tissue necrosis, and it is easy to cause various kinds of infections, and the leukorrhea will be purulent with bad smell. Further development of cervical cancer may affect the pelvic tissues or press the ureter, which will lead to constipation and urinary frequency and urgency.
