It has been reported that some patients have been misdiagnosed with Prolapsed Uterine Fibroid, when in fact the correct diagnosis in their specific case was Cervical Cancer.
Cervical cancer is the growth of abnormal cells in the lining of the cervix and 70% of cases are caused by squamous cell carcinoma. Early cancer usually does not cause any symptoms but if misdiagnosed or allowed to grow untreated can cause unusual vaginal bleeding, watery discharge, a mass, painful and frequent urination and pelvic pain. Non-cancerous conditions such as vulvar dystrophies, dysplasia and condyloma can mimic vulvar cancer and be a source of misdiagnosis. If misdiagnosed cervical cancer can metastasise and lead to death.
