Question 1

im 26 years old.suffering from spotting between periods since 8 months, had pcos and started taking birth control pills but still spotting between periods and lower back pain. is it cervical cancer?

Accepted Answer

Get checked: If you haven't had one recently, it is recommended to get a pap smear.  A pelvic exam will be done in the office, and they will be able to visualize the cervix, check for infection and any lesions suspicious for cancer. They will also take samples of your cells and you may be tested for HPV, the most common sexually transmitted infection. Certain types of HPV increases your risk for cancer.

Question 2

is one side left side pelvic pain slash lower back pain a symptom of cervical cancer? i am so worried. last month i had an extra period bleed as well. last pap was normal but the one before was mildly abnormal?

Accepted Answer

: That symptom is not consistent with cervical cancer, especially your last PAP smear was normal. Spotting is not uncommon at your age; however, if you experience frequent vaginal bleeding, you should see your GYN doctor. Pelvic/low back pain is probably from sacroiliac joint.

Question 3

does having cancer of the uterus or cervix cause burning in vagina and low back pain?
thank you....

Accepted Answer

Yes , late stages: Stop worrying , go and visit your gyn doctor and get a pap smear done, remember early detection is the answer for cure, early curable stages will have stages no symptoms at all.

Question 4

is lower back pain a symptom of testicular cancer?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Low back pain might be caused by testicular cancer in abdominal or pelvic lymph nodes, pelvic or lower abdomen back muscles, low lumbar vertebrae or if it were pushing on the nerves exiting the spine in the low back. The best was to evaluate this would be imaging of the low back, abdomen and pelvis with either ct scan or MRI scan or both.

Question 5

are lower back pain and testicular cancer related?

Accepted Answer

Usually not: Testcular cancer may spread to the lymph nodes of the back but this is seldom painful. It seldom metastasizes to the bone. Your question is important and should be moot -- if there's a testicular mass it needs to be investigated, if a person has been treated for testicular cancer, low back pain isn't the normal way a recurrence presents. Best wishes.

Question 6

could lower back pain be a symptom of ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Ovarian cancer usually presents with abdominal pain, bloating, urinary symptoms and weight gain which would indicate spread beyond the pelvis.  This pain can easily radiate to the back, due to pressure on adjacent organs, etc.

Question 7

does colon cancer cause lower back pain?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Most early stage colon cancers cause no symptoms at all.  Very advanced colon cancers can grow and invade nearby structures, potentially causing pain.  Colon cancer can also spread to the bones, which may cause back pain. However, back pain is a common symptom, and the vast majority of patients who are experiencing back pain do not have any cancer.  See your doctor if you are concerned.

Question 8

i had a pap done waiting for results i have all symptoms of cerv. cancer woke up this morning with bad lower back pain in the spine need to worry?

Accepted Answer

Try to relax: I know it's easier said then done but remember that there are many causes for low back pain other than cervical cancer.  For your age advanced cervical cancer is rare.  I know that you have already had your Pap smear completed and are just awaiting the results and that's fine but I would make sure that you aren't ignoring the many other possibilities that could be contributing to your symptoms.

Question 9

i have lower back pain, lower left side, and sometimes lower right, also, a pain under my left chest.i wanna say certain movements i feel the pain. and other times its there. cancer? i did gain a lot of weight?

Accepted Answer

: Your pain suggests a musculoskeletal source that will be consistent with weight gain and extra load. Cancer cannot be ruled out as any other possible visceral cause for the pain, it is just unlikely specifically in the presence of weight gain, losing weight is common in cancers.

Question 10

could my constipation, lower back pain be symptoms of bladder cancer ?

Accepted Answer

Maybe, but unlikely: Constipation and low back pain should be evaluated by a health care professional. Blood in the urine (either seen or found on a urinalysis) is usually the first sign of bladder cancer.
