bladder bleeding also occur though in more advanced stage. It means that any
bleeding that comes outside menstrual period requires immediate medical
attention.

bleeding. If you feel constantly tired and eating habits are the same, or
heartbeat increases even in slightest effort, you must be examined for anemia and the reason for it

problems– Difficulty urinating is
one more sign of cervical cancer. Swelling of cervix presses the bladder and
kidneys impeding urine passage.
