Symptoms and signs of cervical cancer
The most common indication is vaginal bleeding occurring during or after sex, between periods or new bleeding after the menopause.
This bleeding does not necessarily mean you have cervical cancer, but the NHS recommends seeing a GP as soon as possible for assessment.
Other symptoms of the disease can include pain or discomfort during sex, lower back or pelvic pain and unusual vaginal discharge.
If the disease reaches an advanced stage, it can lead to further symptoms, such as back pain, blood in your urine, incontinence and leg swelling.
