Cervical cancer is a very common type of cancer seen in women. It is more often than not caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). It effects the cervix, which is the organ that connects the uterus to the vagina. Early cervical cancer is asymptomatic, meaning it does not show symptoms, although regular pap smears can typically detect pre-cancerous cells. Failure to diagnose, accurately diagnose or correctly diagnose cervical cancer can result in many health problems for a woman such as pain, bleeding and infertility. If you feel your doctor failed to accurately diagnose cervical cancer you may be entitled to benefits and compensation. It is in your best interest to consult with a Cervical Cancer Malpractice Attorney.
Advanced Cervical Cancer Symptoms
As cervical cancer progresses symptoms are more likely to show up. Common symptoms of advanced cervical cancer are:
- Bleeding unrelated to menstrual cycle
- Spotting (bleeding)
- Excessively long menstrual periods
- Vaginal discharge
- Pain during intercourse
These are all physical symptoms that can also be due to other female health issues. It is up to your doctor, primary care physician and or OB-GYN to rule out cervical cancer, or cervical dysplasia, if you exhibit any of these symptoms. Failure to do so may entitle you to benefits and compensation.
