Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the lower section of the uterus, known as the cervix, which connects the uterus to the vaginal canal.

Human papillomaviruses (HPV), a group of viruses that cause sexually transmitted illnesses, are thought to be the cause.

When the human body is exposed to HPV, the immune system usually prevents infection from viruses, but people with weakened immune systems may be unable to fight the infection caused by HPV, resulting in the virus surviving in their bodies for years and contributing to the process of cervical cells becoming cancerous cells.

Cervical cancer risk can be decreased by getting vaccinated against HPV and receiving frequent screening tests.

The most common symptoms of Cervical cancer are:

1- Bleeding after sexual intercourse.
2- Vaginal discharge with a foul smell.
3- Vaginal discharge tinged with blood.
4- Bleeding cases in post-menopausal women.
5- Frequent bleeding except for periods.
6- Discomforting sexual intercourses.
7- Pelvic pain

These symptoms may have other causes as well, like a vaginal infection. Therefore, it is advisable to consult a medical expert before coming to any conclusion.
