It’s #CervicalCancerPreventionWeek.
Here are the symptoms of cervical cancer. It’s important to know that these symptoms can be caused by other conditions, but if you experience any, you should get them checked.

ALT An infographic on the common signs and symptoms of cervical cancer. The text reads "Vaginal bleeding that's unusual for you - including: bleeding during or after sex; bleeding between your periods or after the menopause; heavier periods than usual." Other symptoms include "Changes to your vaginal discharge; pain in your lower back, between your hip bones (pelvis), or in your lower tummy; pain during sex." Further text reads "These symptoms are very common and can be caused by many different conditions but it's important to get them checked by a GP." The NHS logo is in the top right hand corner.
