Cervical Cancer: Symptoms, Causes, Treatment & When to Seek Medical Help

Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the cells of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It is one of the most common cancers affecting women globally but is also one of the most preventable and treatable cancers when detected early.

Types of Cervical Cancer

  1. Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC): This is the most common type, accounting for about 80-90% of all cervical cancers. It develops in the thin, flat cells lining the cervix.
  2. Adenocarcinoma: This type originates in the glandular cells of the cervix and is less common but more aggressive.
  3. Mixed Carcinoma (Adenosquamous Carcinoma): A rare combination of both SCC and adenocarcinoma.

Signs and Symptoms of Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer often does not show symptoms in the early stages, making regular screening crucial. However, as the disease progresses, symptoms may include:

  • Unusual vaginal bleeding (after intercourse, between periods, or after menopause)
  • Pelvic pain or pain during intercourse
  • Watery, bloody vaginal discharge with a foul odor
  • Increased frequency or pain during urination
  • Unexplained weight loss and fatigue

When to See a Doctor?

It is essential to consult a doctor if you experience any of the following:

  • Irregular or heavy menstrual bleeding
  • Post-menopausal bleeding
  • Persistent pelvic pain
  • Vaginal bleeding after intercourse

Alarming Signs of Advanced Cervical Cancer

  • Severe lower back or leg pain
  • Swelling in the legs
  • Difficulty in urinating or bowel movements
  • Blood in urine or stool
  • Persistent fatigue and weight loss

Treatment Options for Cervical Cancer

Treatment depends on the stage of cancer, overall health, and patient preferences. Common treatments include:

  1. Surgery:
    • Conization: Removes abnormal cervical cells.
    • Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus and cervix.
  2. Radiation Therapy: Uses high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells.
  3. Chemotherapy: Involves the use of drugs to kill cancer cells, usually combined with radiation.
  4. Targeted Therapy: Focuses on specific cancer cell functions to prevent growth.
  5. Immunotherapy: Boosts the body’s immune system to fight cancer.

Treatment Outcome & Survival Rate

  • Early-stage cervical cancer has a 5-year survival rate of over 90%.
  • If the cancer spreads to nearby tissues, the survival rate drops to around 60%.
  • Advanced cervical cancer has a lower survival rate, but treatment can help manage symptoms and prolong life.

Prevention & Screening for Cervical Cancer

  • Regular Pap Smear Tests (every 3 years for women aged 21-65)
  • HPV Vaccination to protect against human papillomavirus, a major cause of cervical cancer
  • Safe Sexual Practices to reduce HPV infection risk
  • Healthy Lifestyle Choices (avoid smoking, eat a balanced diet, and maintain a healthy weight)
