# Can I use the Teal Wand if I have symptoms that could be cervical cancer?

No, we recommend that you consult a healthcare provider as soon as possible, before using the Teal Wand, if you are experiencing any [symptoms](https://www.getteal.com/post/abnormal-uterine-or-vaginal-bleeding?hsLang=en) that could be cervical cancer.

Symptoms of cervical cancer can include:

- Pain or bleeding during sex
- Unusual spotting
- A mass you can feel in the cervix

If you have any of these symptoms, contact a healthcare provider for an in-person exam right away. Read more about screening eligibility with the Teal Wand [here](https://www.getteal.com/post/can-i-screen-for-cervical-cancer-at-home?hsLang=en).
