What are the symptoms, if any of vaginal cancer?

Varies with stage: Vaginal cancer is uncommon but does occur. As it developes, there would be little, if any discomfort. The first signs may be bleeding with sex, and eventually an increased vaginal discharge, with or without bleeding. By the time pain symptoms occur with a vaginal cancer, it usually is invading into the surrounding tissues. Vaginal cancer could be found on your annual exam, before symptoms occur.

Pain and bleeding: There will be blood seen that is seen between or at times when not expected from menstruation. Pain is common with sexual activity. With advanced cancer there can be invasion into the bladder or rectum causing changes or bleeding in urine or bowel. Cervix cancer symptoms can be similar. A pelvic exam by your gynecologist with pap smears is the best screening and should be done yearly.

Discharge, mass: Pain, ulcer. Vaginal cancers are less common than cervical cancer. The lesions are likely to manifest by producing bloody discharge, mass and/or ulcer in the vagina, depending on the location, pain. Bleeding on intercourse may be an early sign.
