Question: What To Do When You Have Cervical Cancer Symptoms
I have been experiencing symptoms of cervical cancer for the past few months. Sometimes they come and go. What do I do?
Answer: If you are experiencing any symptoms of cervical cancer, you must see your doctor. More than likely your doctor will want to do a Pap smear and pelvic exam. Depending on the results of the pap and what the doctor may find during the exam, a colposcopy may be done to see what may be wrong.
