Cancer in cervix is not of a sudden origin but develops in a period of time from pre cancerous stage which is called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), even there are three stages of CIN.

What is cervix


Cervix is actually the lower part of uterus which connects uterus from vagina. During menstruation bleeding occurs due top shedding of endometrium which comes out from uterus through cervix to vagina and then expelled out.

Yes Sanjeev,

We do agree that Cervical Cancer is one of the most complicated disease in women.

National Cancer Institute has given some suggestions to be more cautious.

1- Identification
2- Regular pelvic exams and Pap testing
3- Treatment of precancerous changes in the cervix may be
treated with cryosurgery, cauterization, or laser surgery.
4- Abnormal Bleeding must be taken seriously

Keep Medicating.
Arvind
