Overview

Anatomy of the Cervix
To understand where your cancer is, it may help to know more about the cervix. The cervix is one part of your reproductive system. It is the lower part of your womb, also called the uterus. The cervix connects your uterus and vagina. And your vagina leads to the outside of your body and the vulva, which is the skin area where you have pubic hair. These are the other parts of your reproductive system. They are all in your pelvis.

Statistics About Cervical Cancer
Some people use numbers called statistics to figure out their chances of getting cancer. Or they use them to try to figure out their chance of being cured. Statistics show what happens with large groups of people. But statistics can't be used to know or predict what will happen to a particular person. That's because no two people are alike.

What Are the Symptoms of Cervical Cancer?
Women with precancerous lesions in their cervix usually have no symptoms. A woman usually does not have any symptoms until the cells turn into cancer and invade the deepest parts of the cervix or other pelvic organs. That is why it is important that you have a regular Pap test. This test checks for cells that are cancer or precancer.
