👩‍⚕️ Do you know the symptoms of cervical cancer? The most common symptoms include:

Vaginal bleeding that is unusual for you after menopause, between regular periods or after s*x.
Unexplained pain in your lower back or between your hip bones (pelvis).
Pain or discomfort during s*x.
Changes to vaginal discharge.

These symptoms are not usually cervical cancer, but it's important to contact your GP and get them checked out. Don't wait for cervical screening (a smear test). If your GP asks you to go into the surgery, don't worry - they have measures in place to keep you safe from coronavirus.
