Just because someone has the above symptoms does not mean they have cancer. Many other health problems can cause these symptoms. However, any discomfort that lasts more than a month should be checked out by a doctor. Early diagnosis is the biggest success in cancer treatment. A healthy diet and a drug-free lifestyle can help us fight this deadly disease.
If you notice unusual changes in your body, it is likely to be the beginning of cancer. The main symptoms to watch out for are as follows:
Weight loss without reason: Sudden weight loss (for example, more than 4-5 kg) without exercise or dieting should be taken seriously. This can be the first sign of cancer in the pancreas, stomach, or lungs.
Chronic lumps: Pay attention to the appearance of painless lumps in any part of the body or the increase in the size of existing lumps. Especially lumps in the chest, armpit, and neck.
Persistent cough and hoarseness: A cough that lasts for several weeks or a change in the voice can be a sign of lung cancer or throat cancer.
Unusual bleeding: Blood in the urine, stool, or when coughing is something that should be checked. Bleeding between menstrual cycles in women should also be taken seriously.
Changes in moles: Moles on the body that change color, increase in size, or bleed can be a sign of skin cancer.
Chronic indigestion: Difficulty swallowing food, chronic acidity, or stomach pain can be signs of stomach cancer.
