Vaginal Cancer Symptoms

Vaginal cancer is a rare disease affecting the tissue of the vagina in the female reproductive system. The disease is often difficult to diagnose because the symptoms are very similar to other illnesses like infections. Symptoms do not usually present themselves until the disease has progressed.

Symptoms of vaginal cancer include:

  • Constipation

  • Pain during Intercourse

  • Vaginal bleeding or discharge not related to periods

  • Pain or difficult urination

  • Pelvic pain

  • Mass that can be felt


Please keep in mind that these symptoms are also symptoms of many other illnesses. Please see a healthcare provider if you are experiencing any of these symptoms or anything that is abnormal for you.
