Cervical Cancer Symptoms: Cancer is such a dangerous disease that if its symptoms are not recognized at the right time, then it can pose a big threat to your life. Even because of this you can die. The best way to catch the disease of cancer early is to know your body from inside and to recognize those symptoms, which can lead to serious cancer condition in future, like a lump etc. However, this is not the only sign about which you should be alert.
It has also been learned that the smell coming from vaginal discharge can also be a warning. Many women experience vaginal discharge. According to the National Health Service, if you notice any change in its smell then you should go to the doctor immediately. This is because it can be a symptom of cancer. According to some recent estimates, 80,000 women in India are diagnosed with cervical cancer every year and about 35,000 women die due to it.
Changes in vaginal discharge also a symptom of cancer?
No symptoms are visible during the early stages of the disease. People often notice the symptoms only when the condition starts worsening. Although there are many such symptoms, which are definitely small, but can give you an idea of the beginning of the disease. The NHS says that one of the few signs of cancer is a change in ‘vaginal discharge’. This change includes colour, texture and most importantly smell.
Experts from Cancer Research UK say that some women have a strange smell from their vaginal discharge and there is pain between the hip bones. It is not that a change in vaginal discharge is a sign of cancer, but if you feel something unusual, it would be better to consult a doctor.
