Symptoms such as abnormal vaginal bleeding, pain during sex, and pelvic pain may develop as the disease progresses, and Dr. BCW urges anyone experiencing these to consult their healthcare provider.

Dr. BCW also discusses the importance of early detection through pelvic exams and HPV tests, which can detect precancerous changes in the cervix.
