What are the early symptoms of cervical cancer and what are the hazards of cervical cancer

Early symptoms of cervical cancer

1. Accompanied by cervical erosion: Generally, cervical cancer patients are often accompanied by cervical erosion. Severe cervical erosion is the main cause of cancer. Young women with cervical erosion that is not treated for a long time, or cervical erosion after menopause, should be given enough attention.

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

3. Irregular vaginal bleeding: Elderly women who have been in menopause for many years suddenly have "menstruation" for no reason. 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 a doctor and get early diagnosis and timely treatment. Therefore, the elderly should be highly vigilant.

4. Pain: Pain often occurs in the lower abdomen or lumbosacral region, and sometimes in the upper abdomen, thighs and hip joints. It worsens with each menstruation, bowel movement or sexual intercourse. Especially when the inflammation spreads backward along the uterosacral ligament or along the bottom of the broad ligament, chronic parauterine connective tissue inflammation is formed, the main ligament of the cervix thickens, and the pain becomes more severe. Every time the cervix is ​​touched, it immediately causes pain in the iliac fossa and lumbosacral region. Some patients even experience symptoms such as nausea, which affects their sexual life.

5. Increased vaginal discharge: Clinically, about 75%-85% of cervical cancer patients have increased vaginal discharge to varying degrees. Most of them show increased vaginal discharge, which is later accompanied by changes in odor and color. Under normal circumstances, the nature and amount of vaginal discharge depends on the rise and fall of ovarian function. Women of childbearing age have cyclical changes in vaginal discharge; postmenopausal women have very little vaginal discharge. Due to the stimulation of cancer foci, the secretion function of cervical glands is hyperactive, producing mucous vaginal discharge, and patients of childbearing age no longer have cyclical changes in the nature and amount of vaginal discharge: postmenopausal patients are abnormal, with increased vaginal discharge, stickiness, and sometimes blood. This manifestation of abnormal vaginal discharge, including the increase in quantity and changes in its nature, is an early symptom of cervical cancer.
