What are the early symptoms of cervical lesions?

Cervical lesions usually refer to cervical cancer. This lesion is different from common diseases such as cervicitis, and the harm of cervical cancer is very serious. Most patients with the disease will lose their lives. Early treatment can only prolong the patient's life time. Treatment will also have a great impact on the patient's economy. Therefore, regular gynecological examinations should be performed, and attention should be paid to the early characteristics of the disease. So what are the early symptoms of cervical lesions?

The early symptoms of cervical cancer are not obvious and are not much different from chronic cervicitis. Sometimes the cervix can be seen to be smooth, especially in elderly women whose cervix has atrophied, which makes it more difficult to distinguish. However, there may also be symptoms such as:

1. Pain is a symptom that patients will experience in the early stages. Experts point out that the cause of the pain is mainly due to the infiltration or compression of the pelvic nerves by cancer. If the obturator nerve, sacral nerves, great blood vessels, or pelvic wall are affected, severe pain may occur, sometimes radiating to the lower extremities. Other causes of pain are: lower abdominal pain when the cervical canal is blocked by cancer, the drainage of intrauterine secretions is poor or intrauterine pyometra is formed; cervical cancer invades the parauterine tissue, and the ureter is compressed or infiltrated, which can cause hydroureter or ureteropelvic ureter, resulting in bloating or spasmodic severe pain on one or both sides of the lower abdomen; when the cancer compresses the iliac lymph nodes and iliac blood vessels and obstructs the reflux, swelling and pain in the lower limbs may occur.

2. Increased vaginal discharge. Most cervical cancer patients have varying degrees of increased vaginal discharge, which is also a symptom of early cervical cancer. In the early stages, the presence of cancer stimulates the cervical glands to over-secrete, producing mucous leucorrhea. As the tumor develops, the cancerous tissue necroses and falls off, and secondary infection occurs, the leucorrhea becomes turbid, like rice water or pus with blood, and has a peculiar foul odor.

3. Symptoms of early cervical cancer also include irregular vaginal bleeding. Early cervical cancer manifests as a small amount of bloody leucorrhea and contact vaginal bleeding. Patients often come to the hospital for treatment because of a small amount of vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse or defecation. For those who experience vaginal bleeding after menopause, attention should be paid to finding the cause. Vaginal bleeding caused by cervical cancer is often very irregular, usually a little at first and then more, sometimes more and sometimes less. Cauliflower-shaped bleeding occurs early and in large amounts. When advanced cancer erodes large blood vessels, it can cause fatal, massive vaginal bleeding. Due to long-term repeated bleeding, patients often develop anemia.

The early symptoms of cervical lesions are often ignored by everyone, but they can reflect the symptoms of gynecological diseases. As long as everyone is aware of the disease, the disease can be diagnosed in the early stages. Many people have incorrect concepts about the disease and like to drag it on when the disease is in its early stages. They will not go to the hospital for treatment until the body can no longer bear it, causing cancer-like diseases to develop into the late stages. At this time, treatment is ineffective and the patient's cancer cells have spread everywhere.
