Cervical cancer is easily missed in its early stages. How can we detect the signs as soon as possible?

The clinical manifestations of cervical cancer in the early stage are not obvious, or there are only symptoms similar to cervicitis, which can easily lead to missed diagnosis; once symptoms appear, most of them have developed to the late stage. But if we usually pay more attention to observation, we can find the early symptoms of cervical cancer.

There are three common early signs:

1. Contact bleeding. This is the most prominent symptom of cervical cancer. About 70% to 80% of cervical cancer patients have vaginal bleeding. It is mainly manifested as vaginal discharge mixed with blood after sexual intercourse or gynecological examination, or during defecation. If elderly women bleed after sexual intercourse, do not always think that it is caused by improper sexual intercourse force and ignore the possibility of cervical cancer. If bleeding occurs every time after sexual intercourse, you should pay more attention and seek medical attention in time.

2. Irregular vaginal bleeding. Elderly women have been in menopause for many years, and suddenly there is no reason for it to reappear. The amount of bleeding is often not much, and it is not accompanied by abdominal pain, back pain and other symptoms, which is easy to be ignored. In fact, this irregular vaginal bleeding is often an early sign of cervical cancer. Many elderly patients come to see early diagnosis and timely treatment. It should arouse the high vigilance of the elderly.

3. Increased vaginal discharge. Clinically, about 75% to 85% of cervical cancer patients have varying degrees of increased vaginal discharge. Most of them show increased vaginal discharge, which is later accompanied by changes in odor and color. Increased vaginal discharge is caused by cancer stimulation.
