What are the signs for cervical cancer and if not that what causes inrrgular bleeding between periods?

What are the signs for cervical cancer and if not that what causes inrrgular bleeding between periods?-im 21 i don't know much about my family history but i do know no one on my mom side ever had cervical cancer but my dad side i don't know anything he was adopted. i never had problems until i had a miscarriage feb 22nd 2008 and a IUD surgically removed because it went throw my vaginal wall to my stomach. well ever since those things i been having irrgular bleeding and spotting between periods and im afraid of cervical cancer because my mother-in-law just died from it.

 what can it be? what are signs? what can i do? i already checked with doctor they didnt do much but checked blood count and left it at that.

 

Update: also i do bleed alittle sometimes after intercourse.

Update 2: i did have a d&c after my misscarrage. also i have had ultra sounds/sono to check my utrus and all blood work all but dont know why i bleeding so much

 

You should get a pap smear and pelvic exam to set your mind at ease. I find it troubling that your doctor did not do these things routinely when you last saw him, as a woman your age should have these done yearly.

Your irregular periods are probably residual issues from the IUD perforation, and the miscarriage Your body is trying to right itself after the trauma and get back into a normal rhythm. If you did not have a D & C after the miscarriage, you may need one to remove tissue that is not shedding during your periods.

Sometimes bleeding after intercourse is caused by inflammation of the cervix, and does not indicate cancer, but that is another symptom that leads me to advise you to get a thorough pelvic check up as soon as possible. Preferably from another doctor.
