How do i know if i have cervical cancer? what are the physical symptoms of cervical cancer?

There : There are no noticeable signs of very early cervical cancer. At that stage, the abnormal cells on the cervix can only be detected by routine screening, called a pap smear. If the cancer grows big enough before it is discovered, it can cause various symptoms. Vaginal bleeding may occur, particularly after sexual intercourse. Or, there may be spotting between periods, or unusually heavy periods. An unusual vaginal discharge is possible, and it may or may not have an odor. Pain in the pelvic area unrelated to an obvious activity is possible, or the pain may occur primarily during intercourse. These symptoms should be reported to the doctor, so that a pelvic exam and possible other tests can be performed.

Mostly asymptomatic: Early abnormal cervical changes rarely cause symptoms. Thus, a regular pap smear is recommended for early detection. In later stages, abnormal vaginal bleeding , menstrual cycle that is difficult to explain, bleeding with contact (during intercourse or with diaphragm), pain during sex, vaginal discharge. Best to contact your gynecologist. Best wishes.
