Can cervical cancer be detected during pregnancy?

Cervical cancer can also be detected during pregnancy. If you have not had the appropriate health checkups and cervical cancer screening before pregnancy, and you have recurrent vaginal bleeding and a very foul-smelling vaginal discharge during pregnancy, you may suspect a localized cervical cancer. If a gynecological examination reveals cauliflower-like growths on the cervix or significant bleeding or ulcers on the cervix, appropriate tests should be done, such as cervical cancer screening, and if the result is positive, colposcopy should be done. The patient must be hospitalized for observation, mainly because the stimulation after the colposcopy biopsy may cause uterine contractions and symptoms of pre-eclampsia, which should be treated with appropriate medication and closely observed.
