Overview
Cervical cancer develops in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It is most commonly caused by persistent infection with high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV). With regular screening and early detection, cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable cancers.
Symptoms
Early cervical cancer may not cause noticeable symptoms. As the disease progresses, symptoms may include abnormal vaginal bleeding (between periods, after intercourse, or after menopause), unusual vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, pain during intercourse, and lower back pain.
Risk Factors
Risk factors for cervical cancer include persistent HPV infection, early sexual activity, multiple sexual partners, smoking, weakened immune system, lack of regular cervical screening, and long-term use of oral contraceptives.
