Cervical Cancer sign: Hello! most of the time when women have the early stages of cervical cancer, they don't have symptoms! this is why having a pap smear yearly is such an important exam to check for hpv (human papillomavirus), check for any changes with the cells of the cervix, and catch the disease early! certain hpv strains have been known to make women more susceptible to the development of cervical cancer.

It can be: Without symptoms, therefore the reason for pap smears on a regular basis, but in your 30's to 40's post coital bleeding, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, may be a cause to take a look even if the pap was normal last year. Cervix cancer is highly curable, but less morbid the earlier that it is found.

No symptoms: No symptoms in the earlier stages where cure could be assured , a compelling reason to get a simple pap smear. As stage advances bleeding, advances as it spreads into pelvic and distant organs, obstructive uropathy etc.

Often, no symptoms: Cervical cancer often has no symptoms, and we are fortunate to have pap tests to detect it early - or even in a pre-cancerous state. Some women have a warning signal of bleeding after intercourse. Lgromkomd.

None to many!: Early cervical cancer can go undetected and may only be found on examination and pap smear which is why it is important for women to have this test regularly. More advanced cancer can have symptoms of bleeding and pelvic pain, especially with intercourse.

Depends on stage: Early cervical cancer is asymptotic, that is why regular pap tests are important. Symptoms may include irregular bleeding, spotting, foul smelling discharge, frequent urination and pain. See this site for more info. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/pmh0001895/.

Vag'l bleeding, pain: Most cases start from papilloma viral infection, which is spread sexually. Symptoms are bleeding between periods, associated with pelvic pain, pain with intercourse or loss of appetite and weight. It can be detected early when curable with the pap test at your primary md or gyenocologist.

Not many if early: Cervical cancer is most commonly detected on routine screening pap smear or pelvic exam. If a patient does not see a doctor routinely and does not get pap smears then cervical cancer may become advanced and start to cause symptoms. In such a case once it has become locally advanced patients can experience pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, malodorous discharge, and even rectal pain or blood.

Bleeding: ..Be it a spontaneous irregular spotting or after sex. Sometimes there can be a watery or mucous discharge but that can be the result of many other problems. Pain is usually a sign of advanced disease. Regular screening with pap smears and hpv vaccination are your two best weapons against this, one for early detection and the other for prevention.
