Recognising symptoms of bowel, cervical/gynaecological and breast cancer is essential for early detection and treatment, which can significantly increase survival rates. Being aware of changes in the body, such as unexplained bleeding, persistent pain, lumps, or unusual discharge, can prompt you to speak to your GP.

Early diagnosis through symptom awareness allows for more effective and less invasive treatments, improving the chances of recovery and reducing the risk of complications.

Speak to your GP if you are unsure about anything.
