What are the symptoms of cervical cancer?
Health experts say that cervical cancer is caused by a certain type of HPV and sexually transmitted infections. HPV is actually a group of human papillomaviruses where more than 14 viruses can cause different types of cancer. Two types of this virus group can be said to be responsible for 70 percent of cervical cancer. However, the symptoms of cervical cancer are usually not very obvious so it is difficult to detect it early. Symptoms include abnormal vaginal bleeding, abnormal vaginal discharge, weight loss, persistent lower back pain, and difficulty passing stool. Women usually do not pay attention to these symptoms and it becomes a life-threatening form of cancer.
