Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
The main symptoms of cervical cancer are vaginal bleeding, increased vaginal discharge, and pain, among others. The form and severity of these symptoms are related to the stage and pathological type of cervical cancer. Most patients with cervical cancer experience varying degrees of increased vaginal discharge. In the early stages, the presence of cancer stimulates the hyperfunction of cervical gland secretion, producing mucous discharge. As the cancer progresses, necrosis and shedding of cancer tissue, along with secondary infection, cause the discharge to become cloudy, resembling rice water or bloody pus with a distinctive foul odor.
