A lot depends: On your use of toys or devices...Female clitoral stimulation to orgasm does not require deep vaginal penetration, and deep is where the cervix lives. Being roughly treated, it can bleed without cancer. You need a pelvic exam and pap to determine how healthy your cervix is.

Possibly: Most of the time cervical cancer has no symptoms. It is usually found early with screening tests. Advanced cervical cancer however could present with any type of abnormal bleeding, including bleeding with orgasm.
