10 Symptoms of Cervical Cancer
Symptom #10: Nausea and Vomiting
Nausea is described as an unpleasant and uncomfortable feeling where there is an urge to vomit. It can be a debilitating symptom as it can cause discomfort in the chest and throat. Vomiting refers to the involuntary expulsion of stomach contents through the mouth and nose. In cervical cancer, nausea and vomiting may occur because of swelling into the abdominal cavity which increases intra abdominal pressure.
The compression on the stomach and gastrointestinal tract can also cause acid reflux. However, since nausea and vomiting are common and non-specific symptoms, it may be dismissed as a symptom of other conditions such as infections or food poisoning.
