Cancer of the cervix is a slow moving disease. It initially affects the cervix (the opening to the uterus). Prior to becoming cancerous, cervical cells change in shape or formation. This process is called dysplasia. Dysplasia simply means changes have occurred within the cells and could later become cancerous.Although symptoms are not usually present until the cancer has invaded surrounding tissue, there are signs to look out for:
Abnormal Bleeding
Unusual Heavy Discharge
Pelvic pain
Pain during urination
Bleeding between regular menstrual periods or after sexual intercourse, douching or a pelvic exam
Please keep in mind that these symptoms are also signs of many other illnesses. Consult your physician for a proper diagnosis.
