3) Unusual discharge

Changes in the colour, consistency or smell of discharge can be caused by several conditions.

Vaginal discharge that is considered ‘normal’ is clear or white, and non-smelling.

If discharge becomes dark yellow, brown, green or grey in colour, fishy or foul in scent, or chunky, foamy or accompanied by itching in texture, however, it could be cervical canc3r.

4) Lower back or pelvic pain

With the pains in the back area, this could also be the side-effect to a degenerative condition, such as osteoarthritis, disc disease, or spinal stenosis.

Pelvic pain could also be caused by conditions like a urinary tract infection, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), ovarian cysts, endometriosis, kidney stones, or muscular conditions, like pelvic floor spasms or a hernia.

When mixed with any of the symptoms already mentioned, pain in these areas could be a symptom of canc3r.
