Cancer is one of the main causes of death in many countries of the world. Cancer is incurable, but it is possible to postpone the fatal end: for this it is necessary to diagnose it as early as possible.
True, in some cases it is difficult to do this, because the first symptoms are practically imperceptible, and in most cases they are perceived as signs of other diseases.
Dr. Ahmed El-Modir, a consultant oncologist from Spire Little Eston Hospital, described the symptoms of seven types of cancer, which are often called "silent killers."
Colorectal cancer
This type of oncology is called intestinal cancer. If we talk about symptoms, a person should be alerted by abdominal pain, change in bowel movements, bloating and colic.
Also, blood appears in the feces, and the urge to defecate occurs even after going to the toilet.
Cervical cancer
This type of cancer develops slowly. It is often diagnosed during cervical screening.
Symptoms include vaginal bleeding between periods, during or after intercourse, and after menopause. In addition, in women, the menstrual cycle increases, there are changes in vaginal secretions, and pain in the lower abdomen appears.
Liver cancer
Symptoms of liver cancer are related to digestive problems: a constant feeling of fullness, even if a person has eaten little, nausea and vomiting, as well as dark urine and light-colored stools.
A seal may still form in the upper right part of the abdominal cavity and bloating may begin, which is not caused by a large intake of food.
Lung cancer
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world.
Symptoms of this type of cancer include: persistent cough, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, chest and shoulder pain, fatigue and sudden weight loss.
Ovarian cancer
Some women mistake the symptoms of ovarian cancer for signs of menstruation. Bloating, fatigue, pain in the groin and lower back - all this should alert you.
There are other signs that the expert advised to pay attention to, such as frequent trips to the toilet, weight loss and lack of appetite.
Pancreatic cancer
Symptoms of pancreatic cancer include bloating, nausea and vomiting, and changes in stool. In addition, the signs of this disease can be jaundice, weight loss, severe fatigue and lack of appetite.
Prostate cancer
This type of cancer is very difficult to notice, because the first signs appear only when the tumor reaches such a size that it begins to press on the urethra.
According to the doctor, you need to be alert if you experience the following symptoms: frequent trips to the toilet and problems with urination.
Ahmed el-Modir noted that if you have any of the symptoms listed above, you should definitely go to the hospital and undergo a full examination.
