Cervical Cancer – Causes, Symptoms & Treatment explained by Oncologist

Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the cervix - the lower section of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It usually develops slowly and is most often caused by long-term infection with certain high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV). While early stages may not show clear signs, later symptoms can include abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, or unusual discharge. Regular screening with Pap smears and HPV testing, along with HPV vaccination, is highly effective in preventing cervical cancer.
