Abstract

Background: Cervical cancer remains the second most common malignancy among women in Indonesia, driven by late-stage clinical diagnoses. This cross-sectional correlational study investigated the relationship between behavioral-obstetrical risk profiles and the early manifestation of self-perceived cervical cancer symptoms among women in vulnerable reproductive groups at the primary care level.Aims: This study aimed to analyze the association between behavioral-obstetrical risk profiles and self-reported cervical cancer symptoms among women of childbearing age (15–49 years) at the primary healthcare level.Methods: A consecutive sample of 108 women of childbearing age completed an anonymous, self-administered questionnaire assessing behavioral–obstetrical risk factors and a 10-item cervical cancer symptom checklist at UPTD Puskesmas PB Selayang II, Medan, Indonesia.Results: Self-reported symptoms were identified in 59.3% of respondents, predominantly systemic fatigue (50.0%), lower back pain (37.96%), and pelvic pain (25.93%), while late-stage signs were completely absent.Conclusion: These results demonstrate a significant cross-sectional association between specific behavioral-obstetrical profiles and self-reported cervical cancer-related symptoms among women accessing primary care. Because symptoms were self-reported and unconfirmed by clinical or cytological diagnostic tests, universal screening remains essential to distinguish subjective reproductive complaints from actual cervical pathology.
