im curious of what the symptoms are for cervical cancer. if u had it would u still have normal periods?

Most of the time there are no symptoms. You would still have a normal period. As it gets advanced you might have other bleeding.

Well my question is really for someone out there who had been diagnosed with cervical or uterine cancer. I just wanted to know what made you go to the dr in the first place. What were your symptoms?

Hi I work for a website called http://icyou.com which has thousands of videos on a wide variety of health topics. I don’t have cervical cancer myself but here is a link to a video we created that discusses the common signs and symptoms of cervical cancer:

Hope this helps you~

I need ot know if you or anybody you know has it or had it, and what was the sypmtoms. I know at first there is no symptoms until people find a painful lump under their necks that will not go away and have no infection or sore throat and antibotics does not work as a cancer nurse told me sometimes a lump can be painful, and some are not, and I looked on the internet last night and the site toldme a dry cough it one of them. Please tell me the sypmtoms, or have I already covered it? This is for personal reasons.

Leanne is a troll with a different fake medical complaint for every day of the week. She asks what the symptoms are for various physical and mental illnesses, then tells everyone that she has them, then claims that God cures them. Anyone who questions the truth of her claims gets vicious hate mail, some of which has been posted all over Yahoo Answers.

Could you have cervical cancer for months without having any severe symptoms?

"JB" is right. Never wait for symptoms with cervical cancer.
Symptoms would be a very late finding and would develop only after years of missing the primary cervical lesion.
We see this only in women who have not had regular medical check ups and PAP smears.

As the most common cancer in men in the United States, prostate cancer affects thousands of men. Prostate cancer research aims to raise money and awareness to contribute towards improving treatment and finding a cure or cures for this disease.

Prostate cancer is extremely rare in men under 45, it commonly affects men in their 50′s and is most often diagnosed in men in their 70′s. As it is a cancer that specifically affects older men, it often goes undetected as it can have no symptoms in the early stages or the symptoms are unnoticed, or put down to ‘old age’.

As yet there are no cures for prostate cancer, so research looks into this, as well as improving the conditions for men currently suffering from prostate cancer. Research also looks at how to improve the current treatments and how to prevent the cancer from reoccurring after treatment.

The prostrate gland is located between the bladder and rectum and is part of the male reproductive system. The prostate gland is used in the production and storage of seminal fluid.

The current treatments for prostate cancer depend on if the cancer has metastasized (spread) to other parts of the body, especially to the bones or lymph nodes, or not. If the cancer is still contained within the prostate then radiation therapy can be undertaken to kill the cancer cells with x-rays.

A radical prostatectomy can also be performed. This is surgery to remove the entire prostate gland. If the surgery is successful and the cancer is all removed then the likelihood of a recurrence is low. Recurrence of the cancer is slightly higher if radiation therapy is undertaken.

If the cancer has spread outside of the prostate gland then radiation therapy and radical prostatectomy are no longer treatment options. Hormone therapy can be undertaken to limit the growth of the hormone. Research has shown that prostate cancer growth is linked to male hormones called androgens.

Androgens, such as testosterone, are produced in the testicles and these hormones can cause the tumor to grow very quickly which increases the risk of the cells spreading. Therefore by limiting the amount of male hormones, you can slow the growth of the tumor. This can be done by medication, although sometimes the testicles are removed to assist the hormone treatment.

The other treatment option is called ‘watchful waiting’ or ‘active surveillance’. This is when no medical treatment is undertaken, however you are closely monitored by your doctor and tests are done to detect any changes in the tumor.

It is hoped that with continued prostate cancer research that treatments will exist and more options will become available, especially to reduce the incidence of reoccurrence after treatment. The eventual aim of prostate cancer research is to find a cure for this deadly disease.
