Here are 5 early signs of cervical cancer women shouldn't ignore.
1. Pain in the lower back.
Lower back pain can be linked to a lot of health problems because the lower abdominal region houses some of the body's most vital organs. Constant pain in the lower back can be a sign of cervical cancer so if you experience constant back pain, you might want to go to the hospital.
