Symptoms of cancer
Although the symptoms of cancer vary depending on its type, there are some key warning signs, including the following:
1- Losing weight for no reason
Talk to a doctor if a person has lost a lot of weight in two months for no reason and can’t explain it with changes in diet, exercise or stress.
2- Abdominal or back pain
If there is pain anywhere in the abdomen or back and the person is not sure of the cause, it is imperative to speak to the doctor, especially if it is a constant dull pain or a sharp pain that comes and goes.
3- Indigestion and stomach acidity
Some types of cancer can lead to indigestion or heartburn and GERD, and thus a person may feel a burning sensation in the chest, belching and hiccups.
4- Itching or yellowing of the skin
If the person suffers from itching, changes in skin color, or the whites of the eyes turn yellow.
5-Feeling tired and tired
With some types of cancer, it may be difficult to notice the symptoms, but it is important to see a doctor if there is a persistent feeling of fatigue and malaise.
6- Coughing, chest pain and shortness of breath
When the cough persists for 3 weeks or more without improvement, with shortness of breath or chest pain as well, a specialist doctor should be consulted to see if this is a sign of cancer or not.
7-Changes in bowel movement
Cancer may cause changes in normal bowel movements that last 3 weeks or longer, including:
Abdominal discomfort.
– Blood in the stool.
Diarrhea or constipation for no apparent reason.
A feeling of not completely emptying your bowels following going to the toilet.
Pain in the stomach or lower anus.
Loose, pale, or greasy-looking stools.
– bloating
8- Bleeding
You should also talk to a GP if unexplained bleeding appears, such as blood in the urine or vaginal bleeding a year or more following menopause, coughing up blood, or blood in vomit.
9-clumps
If a person notices a mass that is significantly increasing in size somewhere, then the body should be examined well continuously.
