What are the sypmtoms of cervical cancer?

is it curable

Cervical cancer is usually a squamous cell carcinoma that is caused by human papillomavirus infection or an adenocarcinoma. Early cancer is asymptomatic; the 1st symptom of later cancer is usually postcoital vaginal bleeding. Diagnosis is by screening cervical Papanicolaou (Pap) test and biopsy. Staging is clinical. Treatment usually includes surgical resection, radiation therapy, and, unless cancer is localized, chemotherapy; if cancer is widely metastasized, treatment is primarily chemotherapy.
Most ot the time, early cervical cancer has no symptoms. Symptoms that may occur can include:
* Continuous vaginal discharge, which may be pale, watery, pink, brown, bloody, or foul-smelling
* Abnormal vaginal bleeding between periods, after intercourse, or after menopause
* Periods become heavier and last longer than usual
* Any bleeding after menopause
Symptoms of advanced cervical cancer may include:
* Loss of appetite
* Weight loss
* Fatigue
* Pelvic pain
* Back pain
* Leg pain
* Single swollen leg
* Heavy bleeding from the vagina
* Leaking of urine or feces from the vagina
* Bone fractures.

Cervical cancer is easily curable if caught early. There are no symptoms early on in the disease process. It is usually found during a routine pap smear.
