What are the symptoms ao cervical cancer. and the signs.?

Symptoms can include abnormal vaginal bleeding or a significant unexplained change in your menstrual cycle, bleeding when something comes in contact with the cervix, such as during sexual intercourse or insertion of a diaphragm, pain during sexual intercourse, and abnormal vaginal discharge containing mucus that may be tinged with blood. As it progresses, symptoms can include anemia because of abnormal vaginal bleeding, ongoing pelvic, leg, or back pain, urinary problems because of blockage of a kidney or ureter, leakage of urine or fecal content into the vagina because an abnormal opening has developed between the vagina and the bladder or rectum, and weight loss.

You can have cervical cancer with NO signs.... that is why you need a Pap smear. (How often is determined by the results you get on the first one)

Abnormalities can be detected and treated before it turns into full blown cancer.
NurseAnnie's answer is terrific, however, I had cervical cancer and didn't know it. Thank goodness it was caught in the beginning stages during an annual check up.
It is very important for all women to have a pap smear done every year. I know it sucks putting your feet up in the stirrups with your "girlfriend" up in some doctor's face but honey wouldn't you rather be a little embarrassed than dead?
I say... BRING ON THE PAP SMEAR!!!!

Rather have that then cancer.
