==Overview==
Cervical cancer may be entirely asymptomatic at first, later manifesting in a range of symptoms such as loss of appetite, fatigue, and edema.
[[Symptoms]] of cervical cancer depend upon the extent of cancer and organs involved by distant [[metastases]],in the early stage of disease, most women are asymptomatic. Most common symptoms include abnormal [[vaginal bleeding]], [[vaginal discharge]] and [[pelvic pain]].


==History & Symptoms==
==History and Symptoms==
The early stages of cervical cancer may be completely [[asymptomatic]] (Canavan & Doshi, 2000). [[Vaginal bleeding]], contact bleeding or (rarely) a vaginal mass may indicate the presence of malignancy. Also, moderate pain during sexual intercourse and vaginal discharge are symptoms of cervical cancer. In advanced disease, [[metastasis|metastases]] may be present in the [[abdomen]], [[lung]]s or elsewhere.
Most women with cervical cancer have no symptoms when the disease is in its early stage, those patients with advanced stage of cervical [[neoplasia]] can have varieties of [[symptoms]] based on tumor [[metastasis]] to internal organs,most common symptoms and signs of cervical cancer include:
 
*[[vaginal bleeding|Abnormal vaginal bleeding]]
Symptoms of advanced cervical cancer may include:
**[[Postmenopausal]]
* Loss of appetite
**Intermenstrual
* Weight loss
** Postcoital
* Fatigue
** [[Bleeding]] after [[pelvic exam]]
