What are the early symptoms of cervical cancer

The early symptoms of cervical cancer may not be obvious, but there may be several symptoms, including vaginal bleeding, vaginal discharge, sexual intercourse pain, frequent urination, anal swelling, etc. If you have any discomfort, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time and take appropriate measures under the guidance of a doctor. The details are as follows:

1. Vaginal bleeding: It manifests as contact bleeding, such as a small amount of bleeding after sexual intercourse or gynecological examination, or irregular vaginal bleeding. In the early stage, the diseased tissue can be removed through surgical methods such as cervical conization.

2. Vaginal discharge: Most of them have white or bloody, thin watery or rice-like, and fishy-smelling vaginal discharge. Depending on the severity of the disease, cervical conization or more extensive hysterectomy may be selected, and may be combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

3. Pain during sexual intercourse: Pain may occur during sexual intercourse. Surgery is the main treatment, and adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy will be decided based on the pathological results after surgery.

4. Frequent and urgent urination: The tumor compresses or invades the bladder, causing frequent and urgent urination. Surgery is performed to remove the tumor and relieve the pressure on the bladder, and radiotherapy and chemotherapy are used when necessary.

5. Anal distension: When the tumor involves the rectum, it can cause anal distension. Surgery combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy is a comprehensive treatment to control the disease.

Early symptoms of cervical cancer may be mild and easy to be ignored. If you experience the above symptoms, you should seek medical attention in time. Early detection and treatment are crucial to the prognosis of cervical cancer. You should follow the doctor's advice for standardized treatment.
