The cervical cancer is a tumor that develops in the cells of the cervix.
This
type of cancer is ranked second among the most common women’s cancer in
the world. According to WHO, a woman dies of cervical cancer every two
minutes. On the other hand, many doctors have revealed that about 90% of
diagnosed patients suffering from cervical cancer develop some symptoms
that should not be overlooked.
How is the disease does it manifest?
The early stages of the disease are asymptomatic; that is to say that
the symptoms do not manifest. Nevertheless, some doctors have found that
the first symptoms that indicate that the disease is at an advanced
stage are:
1. Pain in the legs
In the early stages of the disease, some women experience pain in the
legs and swelling. Following the first phase, the cervix is swollen and
can impede blood flow. This causes swelling and pain sensation in the
legs.
2. Urinary Burns
The cervical cancer can be diagnosed by conducting regular analysis of
urine. In case the disease is detected by using urine, this implies that
the tumor has spread to nearby tissues and it is absolutely necessary
to a specialist. Doctors confirm that the urine burns are quite common
symptoms in women who suffer from uterine cancer. Urinary tract burns
are not only a sign of infection in the bladder, it is necessary to
consult a specialist.
3. Bleeding after intercourse
With the development of the tumor at the neck of the uterus, the amount
of blood becomes more abundant, irregular and accompanied by pain in the
pelvis, spine and legs. Some patients suffer from swelling of the lower
limbs. In this case, the tumor has entered the last stage (metastatic
tumor) and compress blood vessels. In the case where the tumor spreads,
it can affect the urinary bladder and cause burns and haematuria (blood
in the urine). When the tumor affects the rectum, it can develop
symptoms such as tenesmus (pain in the anus), difficult or painful bowel
movements and blood in the stool. If the tumor affects the ureters
(upper urinary tract) it can cause hydronephrosis; an increase in the
volume of the pelvis (body receiving the urine formed in kidney tissue
and ensure its flow into the ureter) or renal failure. In later stages,
it can cause vesico-vaginal fistula (abnormal communication between the
bladder and vagina) or recto-vaginal (abnormal communication between the
rectum and vagina).
