Symptoms

Early cervical cancer usually has no noticeable symptoms, but it can be detected early with yearly checkups that include getting a Pap test to check for abnormal cells in the cervix. Possible signs of cervical cancer include vaginal bleeding and pelvic pain or discharge. These and other symptoms may be caused by cervical cancer, although other conditions may cause the same symptoms.
