Cancer is a silent and often insidious disease that can develop without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. However, our bodies often provide warning signs that something is wrong. Unfortunately, these signals are often ignored or dismissed as minor health issues. Being aware of these symptoms can lead to early detection and a better chance of successful treatment. Here are 15 cancer warning signs you should never ignore.
1. Unexplained Weight Loss
Sudden, unintentional weight loss of 10 pounds or more without a change in diet or exercise can be a red flag for cancers such as stomach, lung, or pancreatic cancer.
2. Persistent Fatigue
Constant exhaustion that does not improve with rest could indicate leukemia, colon cancer, or stomach cancer. If fatigue persists despite proper sleep and nutrition, consult a doctor.
3. Lumps or Thickened Skin
A new lump in the breast, testicles, or other parts of the body should not be ignored. While not all lumps are cancerous, a medical evaluation is essential.
4. Unusual Bleeding
Blood in the stool, urine, or unexplained vaginal bleeding could signal colorectal, bladder, or cervical cancer. Coughing up blood may indicate lung cancer.
5. Persistent Cough or Hoarseness
