One of the most typical cancers in women is cervical cancer. It affects the cells of the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus. Cervical cancer can be caused by a variety of factors, including the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and smoking. In most cases, cervical cancer is highly treatable if caught early.
Symptoms
Cervical cancer includes the following symptoms:
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding
- Pelvic pain
- Unusual discharge
Regular screenings, such as Pap smears or HPV tests, are important for detecting cervical cancer in its early stages. Catching cervical cancer in its early stages can make a huge difference to a woman’s long-term prognosis.
Treatments
Listed below are common treatments for cervical cancer:
- Radiation therapy
- Chemotherapy

Our aim at Orkid is to help our patients minimize the risk of getting cervical cancer by diagnosing symptoms of cancer with access to screening so we can detect cancer early and offer complete support even after diagnosis.
