Back pain is usually caused by muscle problems, improper sitting, or injury. However, back pain can also be caused by different types of cancers.
Patients often ignore back pain because they assume it is not serious enough to consult a doctor, to find out the causes of chronic or worsening back pain.
Below we explain to you some of the cancers that are behind back pain, according to the “Times of India” website.
Bladder Cancer:
The bladder is the organ in the lower abdomen that stores urine, and pain in your lower back may be a sign of bladder cancer.
It is common for tumors to grow on the deeper tissues within this organ.
Low back pain is usually a sign of an advanced form of bladder cancer, so if it occurs along with other signs, a doctor should be consulted immediately.
Spinal cancer:
Cancer in the spinal cord and spine is also a cause of back pain, and although this is rare, the pain is caused by a benign tumor in the spine that poses no risk of spreading to other parts of the body.
Unlike bladder cancer, back pain is an early sign of spinal cancer, and it is important to pay attention to the signs and see your doctor for a diagnosis.
Over time, this pain gets worse and may also spread to other parts of your body such as the thighs, legs, feet or arms.
Lung Cancer:
It is another common cancer that presents in the form of back pain, so if you notice any other symptoms of lung cancer along with back pain, it is essential to consult your doctor.
Lung cancer is broadly divided into two groups, namely, non-small cell and small cell lung cancer.
Small cell lung cancer is the most common form of lung cancer and has a higher survival rate than small cell lung cancer.
Other signs with back pain:
Besides back pain, here are the other symptoms of these three cancers:
Symptoms of bladder cancer include frequent urination, blood in the urine, and pain during urination.
Signs of spinal cancer also include numbness, weakness, poor coordination in the arms and legs, and paralysis.
Signs of lung cancer include coughing up blood, persistent shortness of breath, a prolonged cough that gets worse, and a cough that lasts for two weeks or longer.
Reduce the risk of cancer:
Lifestyle plays a big role in reducing the risk of cancer. Some healthy lifestyle choices to reduce your risk include eating a healthy diet, eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, getting regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and not smoking.
