Cervical cancer not being spotted by young women

Research involving the Exeter University medical school has found that young women are failing to recognise the symptoms of cervical cancer.... leading to a delay in diagnosis.

The research, led by Kings College London, found that over a quarter of those diagnosed had waited more than three months before going to the doctor.

A vaccine has been introduced in schools.. but women who haven't had it should be particularly aware of the symptoms, which include unusual bleeding.
