What Is Cervical Cancer?
Cervical cancer arises when abnormal cells on the cervix proliferate. Because early changes are detectable via routine Pap smear and HPV testing, timely intervention can halt progression before invasive disease develops.
Patients worldwide trust our expertise to treat precancerous lesions and invasive cancer with fertility-sparing precision when it's needed and medically appropriated.
What Causes Cervical Cancer?
Understanding risk factors helps us personalize prevention and screening:
- High-Risk HPV (types 16 & 18 cause ~70% of cases)
- Multiple Partners & Early Sexual Activity (increases HPV exposure)
- Smoking (impairs cervical immunity)
- Immunosuppression (e.g., HIV, chronic steroids)
- Long-term Contraceptive Use (> 5 years slightly elevated risk)
- Age & Parity (peak incidence 35–55, especially with multiple births)
Recognize the Early Warning Signs
When something feels off, your body is trying to tell you something — but you do deserve clarity. The earlier we understand what’s happening, the more options you’ll have.
Bleeding After Intercourse (Post-Coital Bleeding)
It may be easy to brush off as irritation—but if it happens more than once, it’s worth looking into.
Spotting Between Periods (Intermenstrual Bleeding)
Irregular bleeding can be a sign of hormonal shifts, infection, or something more. Track it. Speak up.
Unusual Discharge
If your discharge suddenly becomes watery, blood-tinged, or develops a strong odor, it could be a sign of cervical inflammation or disease.
Pelvic Discomfort (Unrelated to Menstruation)
A subtle heaviness, ache, or pressure in the pelvis that lingers—especially if it’s new—should be explored.
Changes in Urination or Bowel Habits
More frequent urination, constipation, or pelvic pressure during these functions may indicate that something deeper is going on.
You know your body best. If something doesn’t feel right, it’s okay to ask for answers.

- Early-Stage (IA–IB1)
For early cervical cancer, we focus on preserving both your health and your reproductive potential whenever possible and if it’s needed.- Conization or LEEP
Removes the abnormal area of a part of the cervix while keeping the uterus intact. Often outpatient and fertility-preserving. - Radical Trachelectomy
A more extensive surgery that removes the entire cervix but leaves the uterus—an option for those hoping to carry a pregnancy in the future (with support like a cervical stitch during pregnancy). - Radical Hysterectomy & Sentinel Lymph Node Detection
A surgical approach that prioritizes recovery while ensuring thorough cancer removal.
- Conization or LEEP
- Locally Advanced (IB3–IIA2)
When the disease has progressed but remains within the pelvic region, we combine precision with compassion.- Radical Hysterectomy & Sentinel Lymph Node Detection
A surgical approach that prioritizes recovery while ensuring thorough cancer removal. - Concurrent Chemoradiation
A carefully timed combination of radiation and chemotherapy to shrink and eliminate cancer cells, guided by protocols that minimize side effects wherever possible.
- Radical Hysterectomy & Sentinel Lymph Node Detection
- Advanced or Recurrent (IIB–IV)
Even in complex cases, there are options — and always support.- Multi-Modal Therapy
A personalized combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and sometimes targeted therapies like bevacizumab, aimed at controlling disease and extending life. - Palliative & Supportive Care
Focused entirely on you—your comfort, your priorities, your peace. From pain management to emotional support, we’re here to walk with you every step of the way.
- Multi-Modal Therapy
