The organisation added, “Other symptoms of cervical cancer may include pain and discomfort during sex and an unpleasant smelling vaginal discharge. Bone pain, loss of appetite and finding blood in the urine are also considered to be the signs of the condition. Though there is no single way to prevent cervical cancer, using protection when having sex can lower the risk. Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women and the seventh most common cancer overall. The data also showed that cervical cancer contributes to approximately 6%-29 % of all cancer in females at different locations within the country.
