Cervical cancer is caused by various strains of human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is a common infection, it is passed through sexual contact. The symptoms of cervical cancer include vaginal bleeding after intercourse, between periods and after menopause, heavier menstrual bleeding that lasts longer than normal, and pelvic pain.

The treatments for cervical cancer include surgery to remove the cancer, medications to kill the cancer, chemotherapy, targeted medicine therapy, radiation therapy with powerful energy beams, and radiation with low-dose chemotherapy.
