Here we would like to talk about the common symptoms of c.ancer that women ignore to create general awareness among them.
C.ancer Symptoms in Women
1. Unexpected Weight Loss
Abrupt weight changes are a matter of concern.
Sudden changes in weight without doing any exercise or diet may indicate pancreatic, liver, or colon c.ancer.
2. Sudden Changes In Bowel Habits
Women do not pay much attention to their bathroom habits, but there is no easy way to discover the sudden changes in your bowel frequency inside of your body.
If you are suffering from frequent bowel movements for a long prolonged period, it is not just diarrhea; it may be due to some c.ancerous cause inside.
3. Development of Moles
Moles are spots on the skin, and they occur when skin gathers in clusters. Moles get darkened when exposed to the sunlight.
So far, there is nothing to worry about moles if they exist in a few numbers. Still, if the development of moles increases and spreads throughout the body, which women overlook most of the time, it is a matter of medical advice.
Also, any changes in the mole’s appearance could signify skin c.ancer.
4. Frequent Cold and Cough
Cough and cold are normal during season changes, and they often heal by themselves. But the concern starts when a cough persists for a long time.
Cough with blood is the first and foremost symptom of lung c.ancer that women ignore most.
But you should keep in mind that bleeding with a cough can occur in other physical issues like bronchial infection or tuberculosis.
So never ignore if such things happen to you. Do a proper investigation.
5. Bleeding after Menopause
It is natural to bleed while you are going through a period, but not having a period for one year means your menopause phase has started.
Therefore any abnormal genital bleeding must be treated with extra care and attention.
Such bleeding can occur due to hormone replacement therapy or any non-c.ancerous polyp growth inside the vagina.
At the same time, it can be a sign of uterine or cervical c.ancer. So let’s not make the situation worse by ignoring it.
6. Stomach Pain and Nausea
Stomach pain or nausea may occur due to indigestion and overeating, so most of the time, we handle them with an antacid.
But if the stomach cramp and nausea lasts for 2 or 3 weeks, it is a matter of further investigation.
7. Throat Pain
We all have to suffer from throat pain and difficulties in swallowing food at some point in our lives.
What women commonly do in this situation is try to modify their food habits— from hard to soft food, and gurgle with warmth to ease the situation.
But it is beyond our imagination that there could be a more serious issue behind this. So if you are experiencing similar problems for a prolonged time, don’t delay.
8. Bloating
Though bloating is common to all genders, women are bloaters by nature. Abdominal bloating may appear at any age with a gastrointestinal disorder.
Besides this, women may also experience bloating during their periods. But don’t take it casually if the symptoms do not disappear within a few days. It could be an early sign of c.ancer in the ovary or uterine.
9. Fatigue
Unexplained fatigue is not normal, though women ignore it to a great extent. We take it as a side effect of household work or office work. But things are not so easy if you find yourself tired after a sound sleep at night.
If this continues and makes you less energetic day by day, you must check it. It could be a sign of leukemia that affects the red blood cells, resulting in persistent fatigue.
10. Headache
Anything from overstressing to indigestion, migraine to sinus could cause a headache.
But suppose you have no history of sinusitis and migraine. In that case, a sudden headache may indicate a serious matter, so it would be wise to treat a headache seriously.
The increase in brain pressure causes a headache that directly relates to tumor growth.
11. Blood In stool
The presence of blood while passing urine or stool is an indication that something wrong is going to happen inside your body.
Even it could be an early sign of bladder c.ancer or anal c.ancer. So don’t just ignore it. As unusual blood in stool and pee may occur due to other physical issues, too, it is subject to investigation further.
12. Long-Term Fever
Women do not bother with fever and take it lightly always. Yes, occasional fever is not concerning, but unexplained fever needs to be monitored as it can indicate blood c.ancer or leukemia.
So if you are suffering from fever without any solid reason, pay enough attention and seek medical advice.
13. Sore
Developing a sore from any wound or injury is not a concerning issue. But you have to pay attention if the sore does not heal within 5 to 10 days.
Among all types of sores, mouth and throat sores can take a dangerous turn if not treated in time. So ladies, don’t ignore the burning and scratchy feeling inside the throat and any mouth soreness due to the cold.
14. Changes In Br3ast
Br3ast c.ancer develops in the br3ast cells and spreads only due to the ignorant attitude of women. We often ignore the changes in the br3ast, as a result of which the c.ancerous cell spreads and invades the healthy cells around the lymph nodes.
So please consult before you get delayed. Get alert when you find any…
- Any dimple or crease on your br3ast skin
- Changes in nippl3 color.
- Discharge of fluid from the nippl3.
- If the nippl3s turn inward.
- Redness around the nippl3s.
- A lump-like growth inside the br3ast.
15. Changes in Skin
The c.ancer-like disease can be slowed down by early prevention. Therefore it’s the basic need to notice any changes to the skin surface, such as skin color, development of moles, new spots, excessive bruising, etc.
As we all know, starting from puberty to menopause, women’s bodies have to cross different stages.
Each step brings lots of changes at different ages. Some changes are regular, but we must pay attention to the unusual and abnormal modifications as they may be the start of any c.ancerous growth. So ladies, stay aware of your body and make others aware too.
