JAKARTA - Cervical cancer or cervix cancer is a medical condition in which cells in the cervix neck grow uncontrollably and become malignant. Most cervical cancer occurs due to infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) virus.

Quoted from the NY Post, on Sunday, June 8, 2025, almost all cervical cancer can be prevented and cured if detected early. Therefore, women must know the early symptoms of cervical cancer so that they can quickly get treatment if they experience it.

The head of the gynecologist oncology at Northwell Health, Dr. Fidel Valea, said there were three early symptoms that were a warning of cervical cancer. Here are the symptoms to watch out for.

1. Bleeding irregular

Disordered bleeding can be an early sign of cervical cancer. Especially if the bleeding lasts abnormally and occurs for several months.

"Regular bleeding is common and does not necessarily mean that the woman is suffering from cancer. However, it is a common symptom of cancer that remains to watch out for," said Doctor Valea.

2. Unnormal whiteness

Doctor Valea also revealed that the symptoms of cervical cancer are abnormal whiteness. The whiteness can smell rotten, can be mild or severe, to some cases until it bleeding.

"Bau and/or the need to make sanitary napkins (because whiteness) is an important symptom to evaluate," he said.

3. pelvic pain

pelvic pain can occur constantly or periodically. However, if the pelvic pain occurs for several months, it can be a sign of cancer so you have to go to a doctor.

Similar to bleeding, pain does not mean cancer. However, this is also a common symptom of women with cancer (ginecology),' concluded Doctor Valea.
