i promised to list down cervical cancer symptoms many2 weeks ago, but i didn't managed to do so because of internet problem at home. apologize for that. anyway, as promised, below are the list of symptoms for reference.
the symptoms for cervical cancer may vary from one woman to another. some doesn't have any symptoms at all during the eraly stage. but most of the time, the symptoms often go unnoticed because woman would usually think it is a symptom for other ailment or thought it as PMS or ovulations pain. these symptoms will usually appear until the cancer is at a later stage.
the symptoms can be:
1. Abnormal vaginal bleeding
- it could be heavy or light bleeding during the month
2. Unusual heavy vaginal discharge which is not blood
3. Pelvic pain that is not related to normal menstrual cycle.
- it can be mild or severe
4. Pain during urination.
- bladder pain can be a symptom of advanced cervical cancer as it only occurs when
the cancer has spread to the bladder.
5. Bleeding between regular menstrual periods, after sexual intercourse, douching or pelvic examination.
it is better to go and see your doctor if you have any of the above symptoms, it may not be related to cervical cancer, but it is best to get a proper check then to just ignore it.
recently the Prime Minister has made a good announcement during the presentation of budget. now all we can all get free hpv vaccination to prevent cervical cancer. i'm not sure whether it is still effective for married woman or those who are sexually active, but i'm sure it won't do any harm to go and get vaccinated. right?
