my country is a major cancer country. According to data, in 2020, the number of new cancer patients reached more than 4.6 million, and the number of deaths exceeded 2.7 million. It can be said that such a number is amazing.
Cancer is a malignant tumor, a disease formed by mutations in normal cells in the human body through infinite proliferation. Once cancer occurs, it will cause great harm to the body.
Many friends may have had this experience. Suddenly, they heard that someone had cancer, and they were still in the late stage and passed away soon. Is cancer really coming suddenly?
is not the case. The causes of cancer are multifaceted and they are not formed in one or two days, although the early symptoms of cancer are not obvious.
But during its development, the body will have more or less signs. If you find that the body has the following characteristics and more than two, then you should be vigilant and it is best to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
There is cancer in the body, and there may be 5 obvious changes in the body. More than 2 are found. Check
symptoms as soon as possible. 1: Weight drops significantly without any warning
If you have no weight loss plan in the near future, do not take a diet or do a lot of exercise, but suddenly you lose weight in a short period of time.
For example, if you lose 10 or 20 kilograms within a few weeks or a month, you should pay attention to it, because this is likely to be a physical problem or even a signal from cancer.
excludes some diet and exercise factors. If you have lost weight recently, it is recommended to register for a doctor in the hospital in time, conduct relevant examinations, and focus on checking the digestive system cancer and identifying the cause.
Symptom 2: Unexplained bleeding
The shape and color of the stool can actually reflect health to a certain extent. If you have not recently had hemorrhoids or menstruation, etc. that may cause bleeding, but when you go to the toilet, you will find that there is blood in the stool or urine, then you should still pay attention to it.
recommends that you go to the hospital for anorectal department or gastroenterology department as soon as possible to find out the cause and rule out the possibility of endometrial cancer or cervical cancer and .
Symptom 3: Continuous and repeated low fever
Cold and fever is a common situation, but in fact, when cancer occurs, it is also likely to cause repeated low fever.
The main reason is that tumor cells develop too fast in the body, which has threatened the survival of normal cells, leading to tissue necrosis in the body, thereby causing tumor fever.
We all know that colds and fevers are actually a defensive reaction of the immune system. In fact, when cancer cells attack the human body,
will also cause an immune response. We hope to eliminate cancer cells through heating, and at the same time, it will also arouse people's alertness.
Tumor fever is different from common colds and fevers. It rarely has high fevers, usually low fevers, and will not exceed 38.5℃.
Symptom 4: Long-term cough and cannot be cured
When you have a cold or bronchial disease, you often have symptoms of coughing. In addition, pneumonia, tuberculosis can also cause coughing.
However, after drug treatment, the condition of these diseases will be relieved, and the symptoms of cough will generally improve. However, if it is a cough caused by lymphoma , bronchial epithelial cell carcinoma, lung cancer and other cancers, it is basically difficult to relieve it through ordinary drugs.
Generally, if you have a cough of more than 3 weeks and you also contain blood and blood clots when you cough, and you are accompanied by symptoms such as dyspnea, then you must be vigilant, and register in the hospital's respiratory department, find out the cause, and treat it as soon as possible.
Symptoms 5: Normal diet but severe anemia
With current living conditions, under normal diet, it is actually not lacking in nutrition, but if you find that you have severe anemia, you must consider whether it is caused by the disease, or even cancer.
Because once cancer cells appear, they will proliferate in large quantities. In this process, they will engage in a "fight for nutrition" with normal cells in the body. Normal cells generally cannot fight cancer cells, which also leads to the elimination of normal cells and the human body cannot obtain enough nutrients, which induces severe anemia.
In short, although cancer is highly concealed, it is not completely unrecognizable. In the process of early and mid-stage development, there are likely to be some discomfort symptoms. Once discovered, you should still seek medical treatment as soon as possible and treat it as soon as possible. If you want to prevent cancer, it is recommended to develop the habit of regular physical examinations.
Generally speaking, lung cancer is mainly tested for CT, intestinal cancer is mainly checked for colonoscopy, gastroscopy is checked for gastroscopy, while liver cancer is mainly liver B-ultrasound or CT examination, breast cancer is mainly breast X-ray examination.
