15 Cancer Symptoms Women Shouldn't Ignore by foxgiovani(m): 9:10am On Jul 30, 2015 |
These 15 Symptoms are signs of Cancer Women's bodies are always changing. Sometimes changes that seem normal can be signs of cancer, though. The key is to pay attention to your body so you can notice when something's different. "New symptoms indicate something has changed in your body, and you want to know what that means." So, what should you watch for? 1. Breast changes Most breast lumps aren't cancer, but your doctor should always check them. Let her know about these changes, too: Skin dimpling or puckering Nipples that turn inward Nipple discharge Redness or scaling of your nipple or breast skin To look for the cause of your symptoms, your doctor will do a physical exam and ask you questions about your medical history. You may also have tests like a mammogram or a biopsy, when doctors remove a tiny piece of tissue for testing. 2. Bloating "Women are natural bloaters," says Marleen Meyers, MD, an oncologist at NYU Langone Medical Center. "It's OK to wait a week or two to see if it goes away." If your symptoms don't get better with time, or if they happen with weight loss or bleeding, see a doctor. Constant bloating can sometimes mean ovarian cancer. You'll have a pelvic exam as well as blood tests, and sometimes an ultrasound, to look for the cause of the problem, Andersen says. 3. Between-Period Bleeding If you’re still getting periods, tell your doctor if you’re spotting between them. Bleeding that’s not a part of your usual monthly cycle can have many causes, but your doctor will want to rule out endometrial cancer(cancer of the lining of your uterus). Bleeding after menopause is never normal and should be checked right away. 4: Skin Changes A change in the size, shape, or color of a mole or other spot is a common sign of skin cancer. See your doctor for a thorough exam and perhaps a biopsy. This is one time you don't want to wait, Meyers says. 5. Blood in Your Pee or Stool Talk to your doctor if you're bleeding from a part of your body that normally doesn't, especially if the bleeding lasts more than a day or two, Meyers says. Bloody stool is often from hemorrhoids, but it can also be a symptom of colon cancer. Bloody urine is usually the first sign of cancer of the bladder or kidneys, says Herbert Lepor, MD, a urologist at NYU's Langone. 6. Changes in Lymph Nodes Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped glands around the body. Most changes in them come from common infections. But some cancers, including leukemia and lymphoma, can also cause lymph nodes to swell. It's a good idea to see your doctor if you have a lump or swelling anywhere in your body that lasts a month or more, Meyers says. 7. Trouble Swallowing Occasional trouble swallowing is nothing to worry about. But when it happens often, especially with vomiting or weight loss, your doctor may want to check you for throat or stomach cancer. He'll look into your symptoms with a throat exam and a barium X-ray. During a barium test, you drink a special liquid that makes your throat stand out on the X-ray. 8. Weight Loss Without Trying Most women wish extra pounds would magically melt away. But losing 10 pounds or more without a change in your diet or exercise habits could signal a problem. Most unintended weight loss is not cancer, Meyers says. "It's often caused by stress or your thyroid, but it can be a sign of pancreatic cancer," she says. Stomach and lung cancers are also possible. Your doctor may ask for a lot of tests to look for a problem, including blood tests and imaging tests, like a CT scan. 9. Heartburn Too much food, alcohol, or stress (or all three) can cause serious heart burn. Meyers suggests that you change your diet for a week or two to see if your symptoms get better. If that doesn't help, talk to your doctor. Heartburn that doesn't go away or gets worse could mean cancer of the stomach, throat, or ovaries. 10. Mouth Changes If you smoke, watch for white or bright-red patches inside your mouth or on your lips. Both can signal oral cancer. Ask your doctor or dentist about tests and treatment.

Do you understand that one of the reasons why individuals are truly focused on today is on account of they are constantly cooped up inside and never truly get out? It's practically like having a fever. You're stuck inside, you don't recognize what to do, and you're stuck in a situation which you're not by any stretch of the imagination OK with. Getting out and having any kind of effect in your life, seeing distinctive things and encountering genuine can truly offer assistance. 1. Reduces the risk of some cancers. 2. Reduces the risk of heart attack 3. Less likely to lead to injuries. 4. Reduces stress. 5. Reduces the risk of heart disease. 6. It’s absolutely free, you don’t have to pay for it. 7. Helps to maintain strong bones. Read More |
