Experts answer common symptoms of advanced cervical cancer

Many people may find it very scary when talking about advanced cervical cancer. In fact, as long as it is treated as soon as possible, the condition of advanced cervical cancer can still be controlled. What are the symptoms of advanced cervical cancer? Here are some common symptoms of advanced cervical cancer.

In general, common symptoms of advanced cervical cancer include:

1. Irregular vaginal bleeding.

Irregular vaginal bleeding is the main symptom of patients with advanced cervical cancer (80% to 85%). The amount of vaginal bleeding can be more or less. Vaginal bleeding is often caused by ruptured tumor blood vessels, especially in leucoma-type tumors, which cause bleeding symptoms earlier. Especially after menopause, vaginal bleeding should be paid more attention. If bleeding occurs frequently, excessive blood loss can lead to severe anemia. Patients with advanced cervical cancer may experience heavy vaginal bleeding and even shock, which is more common in invasive tumors.

2. Increased vaginal discharge.

It usually occurs before vaginal bleeding. Patients with advanced cervical cancer may initially have no odor in their vaginal discharge. As the tumor grows, secondary infection and necrosis of the tumor may increase the discharge, such as rice washing water or mixed with blood, with a foul odor. When the tumor spreads upward and involves the endometrium, vaginal discharge is blocked by cervical cancer tissue and cannot be discharged, which may form intrauterine fluid or intrauterine pyometra. Patients with advanced cervical cancer may experience symptoms such as lower abdominal discomfort, lower abdominal pain, back pain and fever.

3. Systemic symptoms, such as fever.

Patients with advanced cervical cancer will have fever due to the metabolism of tumor tissue, absorption of necrotic tissue or combined infection. The body temperature of patients with advanced cervical cancer is generally around 38°C, and a few may reach above 39°C. Anemia, weight loss and even cachexia may occur due to bleeding and consumption. With the spread of cancer cells, severe cases may form bladder-vaginal fistulas; when the tumor invades the rectum, patients with advanced cervical cancer will have symptoms such as difficulty defecating and blood in the stool, and severe cases may develop vagina-rectal fistulas.

The above is an introduction to the common symptoms of advanced cervical cancer. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Once the symptoms of advanced cervical cancer appear, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time to prevent the condition from getting worse.
