YOGYAKARTA There are 9 symptoms of early stage cervical cancer that need to be known, because the prevalence of this disease is quite high, namely around 36,000 new cases that are detected every year. By recognizing the symptoms, treatment can be done immediately so that it can prevent worsening conditions.
Quoted from the Mayo Clinic, cervical cancer is an abnormal cell growth that begins in the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus that connects the uterus with the vagina.
Most cases of cervical cancer are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, namely the type of virus that is transmitted through sexual intercourse.
Cervical cancer is more susceptible to women who change sexual partners, have a weak immune system, and take birth control pills in the long term.
Compiled from various sources, here are 9 early stage symptoms of cervical cancer that need to be watched out for.
Research conducted by experts shows that abnormal bleeding in the vagina can be a strong sign of cervical cancer. Many symptoms may appear vague, but bleeding outside of menstruation, for example after having sex, or after menopause is a serious sign to watch out for, quoted from the Mega WeCare page.

Experts explain that the pain can also be caused by cervical inflammation, vaginal infection, or the presence of polyp undangerous conditions. Therefore, it is important to do an examination if unusual symptoms appear.

These symptoms arise because cervical cancer tumors can grow to tissues around the cervix. If it spreads to the bladder located close to each other, cervical cancer sufferers may feel pain when urinating or have difficulty holding back the desire to urinate.
At first glance, this symptom looks similar to a urinary tract infection (ISK). For that, you need to check yourself with a doctor to make sure.
If you often feel weak and unpowered all day even though you have enough sleep, this could be a sign or symptom of early stage cervical cancer.
This condition is triggered by abnormal bleeding in the vagina, so that gradually the body lacks red blood cells (anemia) which causes a feeling of weakness and non-poweredness to appear.
