  • menstrual bleeding that is longer or heavier than usual
  • bleeding after intercourse, douching, or a Pap smear
  • vaginal bleeding after menopause, the time in a woman's life when her menstruation ends
  • Symptoms of more advanced cancer of the cervix include the following:

  • loss of appetite
  • weight loss
  • fatigue
  • nonspecific back pain
  • leg pain
  • inability to control urination or bowel movements
