Symptom #7: Abnormal Bleeding
In women with HPV infection in the genital area, there may be some abnormal bleeding such as intermenstrual bleeding (bleeding in between your menstruation days) and bleeding after intercourse. With bleeding after intercourse, there may also be pain. This can be a sign of early cancerous growth as many cases of cervical cancer often begin with HPV infection.
HPV strains that cause cervical cancer are most commonly high risk types. Eight high risk types of HPV account for 95% of all cervical cancers. Types 16 and 18 account for 70% of all cervical cancers. Your menstruation can also become longer or heavier.
