Cervical Cancer
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Cervical cancer is an abnormal growth of cells in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It usually develops slowly and is largely linked to persistent infection with the human papillomavirus.
Signs worth watching for: bleeding outside the menstrual period or after sexual intercourse, unusual discharge, or pelvic discomfort; in the early stages it may cause no symptoms.
Detection: routine gynecological exams are an important tool for identifying changes early.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist and the gynecologic oncologist, along with the oncologist, evaluate and provide follow-up. Keeping up with regular gynecological checkups is a valuable way to care for your health.
