Signs And Symptoms Of Cervical Cancer

Back Pain

Women with cervical cancer may also experience intense back pain. This occurs when their cancer has spread to the nearby lymph nodes in the pelvis. Cervical cancer in the pelvic lymph nodes causes them to press on the renal collecting system. A cervical tumor may also press on this area. This will compromise the flow of urine from the body and result in a build-up in the kidneys after blood has been filtered from the urine. The urine cannot drain from here, which triggers kidney swelling and inflammation. The kidneys can then put pressure on nearby nerves, muscles, and other structures. This pressure causes intense back pain.
