Cancer, one of the most terrifying words nowadays. No
one wants to know about this disease but undoubtedly is one of the strongest
diseases and is in the Top Ten Causes of Death Worldwide. Despite that, most
cancers can be treated with
favorable results for the patient if are detected
in time. Everyone is agreeing on one thing, with an early detection the mortality
rate decreased considerably. The principal problem is that people, often, do
not want to bother the doctor. For this reason, they ignore some crucial
symptoms in order to do that.
We
always hear or read that cancer is preventable if is detected in time and the
people have a fundamental role to achieve this. What kind of symptoms or signs
can tell us that something is more serious? What is a warning sign that tell
you if something is wrong with your health? To find out you must read this
article.
In the first place, our body is full of cells and
cancer is a disease caused by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a
part of the body. So we can have different kind of cancer in different organs,
which make more unlikely the detection. For some cancers like stomach cancer,
an appropriately diet can help you to prevent them. However, in general, these
pathologist must be detected and treated early.
Patients must be aware of the first signals and search,
immediately, a medical advice and apply for a screening test like mammography,
Pap smear, colorectal exam or any other. Also, patients could learn to do routinely
a self-exam, like the BSE (Breast Self-Exam) or TSE (Testicular Self-Exam).
The idea is not to be a hypochondriac patient and go
to the doctor every time you feel pain. However, you do not have to be ashamed to
go to the hospital because you think that it is a waste of time. It is capital
go to a hospital if a symptom recurs or persists (Above all, if the symptom has
not felt before or is uncommon).
You must be aware if you:
- Lost weight inexplicably, more than 11 pounds (5 kg) is a warning sign.
It is very frequent in pancreas, stomach, esophagus and lung cancer.
-
Have fever, which a nonspecific symptom but every cancer patient may
have fever at a certain point of the disease, principally if cancer is related
with immunology system.
- Have an extreme exhaustion, even when you rest
- Have changes in your skin. For example: a zone becomes darker (hyperpigmentation), you suffer yellowing of your skin or your eyes (icteric), itch, etc.
- Has long-term constipation or diarrhea, or maybe changes in your stool, could be colorectal cancer. Be aware of the blood in your stool (Hematochezia). Also, changes in your urine, more or less frequency, painful urination or blood could be related with bladder or testicular cancer
- Have wounds which persist for more than four weeks.
- Bleed unusually; this is one of the most alarming symptoms. Coughing up blood, blood in your stool or your urine, abnormal spotting or bloody nipple discharge
- Feel a swelling on any part of body
-
Cough constantly for more than three weeks.
Those signs and symptoms are the most common which
manifest on cancer but there is a lot which we do not mention here. If you look
any unusual change in the way how your body feels or respond, especially if it persists
or worsen, you must go to the doctor shamelessly and fearlessly. If the
symptoms have nothing to do with cancer your doctor will report it to you and he
will find out what is going on with your body. If is cancer you will be have
the opportunity to treat it in the initial stage.
