Video Summary
Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that affects the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus. The most common symptoms are vaginal bleeding and discharge. Other symptoms can include pain during sex, pelvic pain, and problems urinating.
Cervical cancer is caused by HPV (human papillomavirus), a sexually transmitted infection that can now be prevented by having an HPV vaccine. Screening tests can detect precancerous lesions on the cervix and get treated before they turn into cancer.
