Cervical cancer is largely preventable — and when caught early, it is among the most curable of all gynaecological cancers. Women from Sikar need to know both the warning signs and the simple screening test that can catch this cancer before it develops.
Symptoms That Require Immediate Evaluation
- Bleeding after sex (post-coital bleeding) — the most characteristic symptom of early cervical cancer
- Bleeding between periods or after menopause
- Unusual vaginal discharge — watery, blood-streaked, or with an unpleasant odour
- Pelvic pain during sex or at other times
- Pain in the lower back or legs — in more advanced disease
Post-coital bleeding is never normal and always warrants a doctor’s assessment. Many women in Sikar dismiss it as “friction” — it is not.
Pap Smear — The Simple Screening Test
A Pap smear (cervical cytology) takes 5 minutes, is painless in most women, and can detect pre-cancerous changes years before cancer develops. Women who have been sexually active should have a Pap smear every 3 years from age 21, or more frequently if previous results were abnormal. This test can be done at any gynaecology clinic in Sikar.
