# A Case of Hemorrhagic Shock From Newly Diagnosed Cervical Cancer

## TL;DR

A woman with newly diagnosed cervical cancer experienced severe bleeding requiring emergency treatment for hemorrhagic shock.

## Contribution

This case highlights an unusual and severe presentation of newly diagnosed cervical cancer.

## Key findings

- Cervical cancer was diagnosed during evaluation for recurrent UTIs and vaginal hemorrhage.
- Arterial embolization was required to manage hemorrhagic shock caused by the cancer.
- The case underscores the importance of considering cervical cancer in patients with unexplained severe bleeding.

## Abstract

Cervical cancer remains a prevalent, though preventable, disease with proper screening and vaccination. While the disease is often asymptomatic in the initial stages, severe delayed presentations may include massive hemorrhage. We present a case on newly diagnosed cervical cancer found on evaluation for recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) and vaginal hemorrhage requiring arterial embolization for hemorrhagic shock.
