Women with early cervical cancers are typically asymptomatic. The most common signs and symptoms of more advanced cervical cancer include abnormal vaginal bleeding, unusual vaginal discharge, pain in the pelvic region and/or pain during sex.1
Risk factors associated with cervical cancer include human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, smoking, long-term use of oral contraceptives (birth control), and family history.2
Connecting with other people that have cervical cancer through an online support group, led by a social worker, one-to-one matching with a peer, virtually through Zoom, and/or phone can help you learn about your condition and provide you with support.
