A recent medical study stated that persistent pain in the pelvis or back in women may be a sign of a serious illness.

 It is known that the earlier the diagnosis of cancer, the more effective treatment, but some types of disease may show symptoms that can be confused with other conditions less serious.

 Among those types of cancer is cervical cancer, which is a type of cancer that develops in a woman's cervix, according to the British Daily Express.

 Daye, a women's health research and development company, said: "Cervical cancer in its early stages often produces no signs or symptoms, which is why it's so important to have your cervix checked regularly."

 Most women with the disease do not show symptoms until the cancer reaches an advanced stage, but some signs may actually be a symptom of this cancer, which is what you should know.
