Signs and symptoms of cervical cancer

[kate_p_c_c]

Hi,

My name is Kate and I am studying A Level health and social care. For one of my units I am looking at cervical cancer because my Gran had it. For my coursework I have to first look at the signs and symptoms of cervical cancer. I have found that some signs and symptoms are a single swollen leg,

abnormal vaginal bleeding (during or after sex, between periods), unusual vaginal discharge, post-menopausal bleeding, weight loss, lower back pain or pain in side

, leg pain, pain during sex, pain in pelvis, unpleasant smelling vaginal discharge, tiredness, uncomfortable or irregular urination and incontinence but I was wondering if anyone knew why these signs and symptoms exist? What causes them?

Thank you.
