15 Cancer Symptoms Women Often Ignore! Page 2

6. Lymph Node Changes

The lymph nodes are bean-sized and shaped glands around our body, and usually undergo a change in the case of an infection, or leukemia and lymphoma, which cause them to swell.

7. Trouble Swallowing

While having some trouble swallowing every now and then is nothing serious, if it starts happening more often, along with vomiting or weight loss, it is a sign to contact a doctor immediately.

8. Random Weight Loss

While random weight loss is often caused by stress or thyroid, it can also indicate pancreatic cancer.

9. Heartburn

While too much alcohol, stress and food can cause heartburn, if you experience it almost on daily basis, then it is something to worry about. Try changing your diet to see if it persists.

10. Mouth Changes

Mouth changes such as white or bright-red patches inside the mouth and on the lips can be a sign of oral cancer. Ask your doctor for immediate treatment and a checkup.

11. Fever

If you experience an unexplainable fever and if for some reason it won’t go away, it can be a sign of some type of blood cancer. Check your medical history and perform a physical exam to check for the cause.

12. Fatigue

Feeling exhausted for no reason, even after waking up after a good night’s sleep, can be a sign of something being wrong in the body. Also if these symptoms are accompanied by blood in your stool, then it is something to immediately contact a doctor about.

13. Change in Urination

If you are experiencing frequent urination in small amounts, or slow urine flow, this can either be caused by urinary tract infections or enlarged prostate glands.

14. Unexplained Pain

While pain can be a result of many health conditions, ongoing unexplainable pain can be a clear indicator of a bone, brain or other cancer.

15. Coughing

Coughing is probably the most common and diverse symptom of all. While there are many reasons people cough, most coughs usually go away after a week or two unless they are chronic. However, if you find yourself in pain or short of breath during coughing, this can be an indicator of something far more dangerous and serious. Previous Page
