according to studies, more than half of allpeople experiencing alarming cancer symptoms choose to ignore them until it's too late. here are 13 signs and symptoms you shouldbe concerned about, as disregarding them could lead to death. number 13: noticeable skin and mole changesskin cancer is not only the most common cancer in the us, but its early signs are also trickyto recognize. skin cancer is nasty and disfigures you terribly,so catching it early on is important for a good prognosis. melanoma is a malignant skin cancer that developsfrom our pigment-producing cells, the melanocytes.
they usually develop from moles on our skin,and the most prominent sign of melanoma is a considerable change in the appearance ofa mole, in terms of shape and size. if it gets bigger, darker, irregular, becomesraised, or if you spot a new mark that appeared almost suddenly, you should definitely seea dermatologist to undergo skin cancer screening. many people tend to think that their moles,freckles, or age spots are just like others they've had, until it̢۪s too late. the primary cause of skin cancers is prolongedexposure to ultraviolet light. those who frequently work under the sun oruse tanning devices too often are at a risk. number 12: sores that refuse to healcold sores in the mouth are normal, and are
usually triggered out of hiding by stressand fever. usually they aren't a cause for worry, butif you notice a particular sore that's not healing past a three week mark, then go seea doctor. a normal sore would have healed itself bythat time, otherwise it could be a sign of carcinoma. other symptoms you should take note of thatcould indicate mouth cancers are pain that persists, numbness or swelling of the mouthand jaw, and any discolored red or white patches on the tongue or gums. number 11: unexpected vaginal bleedingall women should be aware of the regularity
of their menstrual cycles so that they coulddetect any changes that are out of the norm. any vaginal bleeding outside of the normalcycle is a cause for concern, and could be an early sign of cervical cancer. this also applies to women who have undergonemenopause. it is quite common for them to still see somelight spotting, but if they start bleeding again consistently like they did before menopause,it could be the early symptoms of cancer of the uterus. the good news is that those diagnosed at anearly stage have a high chance of survival since uterine cancer is relatively easy tooperate on.
number 10: weight loss with no apparent reasoneasy and unexpected weight loss might sound like a dream for some, but not when it comeswith a deadly disease. adults usually try hard to shed weight, butif your weight obviously goes down without much effort, then it's an indication of amedical problem, and a serious one at that. think diabetes, thyroid toxicity, parasiticinfection, and worst of all, cancer. weight loss accompanied with appetite changesis especially common in leukemia or lymphoma - both deadly blood related cancers. other cancers related to those symptoms areesophageal, liver, pancreatic, and colon. number 9: an unusual lumpthis should be a no brainer, as anyone with
common sense would absolutely think "tumor"upon feeling an unusual lump on their body. but you'd be surprised at the number of peoplewho ignore this obvious symptom until it's too late. any time you have a new lump, or an old lumpthat is changing, that is definitely something your doctor should look at. this could be anywhere, on the neck, the back,armpits, and most commonly, at the breasts. while it could be something benign like acyst - which it most likely is - you don't want to take your chances. apart from lumps, there are many other telltalesigns and symptoms of breast cancer that women
should know about. this could be in the form of an inverted nipple,unusual nipple discharges, breast tenderness, skin dimpling, or mild discoloration. many women delay medical help as they hopeit's not cancer, thinking that it would just go away. bad move. number 8: frequent fevers and infectionsfever is the body's way of fighting off an infection. while it is a good defense mechanism, frequentand persistent fevers is a sign that the body
is consistently being the victim of repeatedinfections due to a low immune system. immune deficiency can be caused by any diseasethat affects the primary disease-fighting agents which are the white blood cells. in the case of leukemia, otherwise known ascancer of white blood cells, abnormal amounts of white blood cells are produced by the bodywithout control. while this might sound like a good thing,it's not. this overproduction leads to useless whiteblood cells incapable of fending off foreign agents, making infections and fevers morefrequent. so make sure to pay attention to all flu-likesymptoms, fever, and achiness that refuse
to go away. number 7: persistent difficulty in swallowinga sore throat makes swallowing not only difficult, but also painful. if you continuously experience difficultyin swallowing, don't ignore it. several different cancers can cause this symptom,such as neck and esophageal cancers, which are regional, and also the ones originatingfurther down like stomach and lung cancers. usually people would just change their dietsand eat soft food when experiencing a sore throat, without thinking much of it. but if it persists, it could be a seriousissue.
number 6: unexplained and persistent paincontrary to what some people think, pain is not a main symptom of cancer. in fact, most cancers start out completelypainless. however, any persistent pain should not beignored as they could still indicate cancer. brain cancer for example, is the last thinganyone would think of when they get a headache. but intense and persistent ones, especiallyfor those who are not prone to migraines, could be a symptom of a brain tumor. this is caused by a localized pressure onthe nerves. another example would be stomach pain andnausea.
an upset stomach is so extremely common thatno one would expect cancer in the first place. but if you're always suddenly getting nauseousaccompanied with persistent stomachaches, it's time to see a doctor. while it most likely would be something asbenign as a peptic ulcer, it could also turn out to be a malignant liver, pancreatic, orcolorectal cancer. number 5: unusual and excessive bruisingso you wake up one day with an unusual bruise on your arm, with no idea how it got there. no need to worry, you probably ran into somethingthe previous day and forgot about it. but if bruises start appearing all the timewith no apparent reason, and at strange places
like the hands and fingers, and with red spotson the face, neck, and chest, then you should be concerned. excessive bruising can be an indication ofabnormal activities of the blood cells. to be exact, it is a sign of leukemia, whereabnormal amounts of white blood cells cause platelets responsible for blood clotting tobe diminished in number. over time, the blood's ability to clot andcarry oxygen becomes impaired. number 4: feeling tired all the timewe all have those days when we feel completely exhausted, but a good rest and sleep shouldbe enough to recharge our energy. but if you experience persistent fatigue ona daily basis for over a month or shortness
of breath when you didn't before, then besure to have yourself checked by a doctor. there's an endless list of things that causepeople to be tired all the time, such as anemia, thyroid conditions, and even depression. cancer also happens to be on that list, withleukemia and lymphoma being the ones most commonly associated with persistent fatigue. number 3: nail changesdid you know that many diseases and illnesses can be seen in the nails alone? there are approximately 30 different nailsigns that can be associated with medical conditions including lung cancer, heart diseases,and nutrient deficiencies.
vertical dark lines are common in people withdark skin, but can also indicate a form of skin cancer. subungual melanoma is a skin cancer that affectsthe nail bed of one finger. clubbing is a condition where the fingertipsbecome rounded and bulbous, usually seen in people with heart and lung problems. it may also be present in stomach or bowelcancer. the liver's condition can also be seen inthe nails, and pale or white lines are signs that the liver is not functioning well. this could be a sign of liver failure, hepatitis,and liver cancer.
number 2: changes in bowel habits and bloodystools everyone has their own regular bowel habits,and goes to the toilet at a certain frequency that they're used to. but when there is a notable change for longperiods, either having to go more often, or less, this could be a bad sign. especially when the nature of the stool hasalso changed, appearing smaller, larger, or somewhat deformed, this could be a sign ofcolon cancer. a mass in the intestines could hinder thesmooth movements of a stool, or disturb the absorption of water and elements inside thecolon, making the resulting stool appear different
in size, shape, and color. another thing that must be looked at is thepresence of blood in the stool. this could appear as fresh red blood, or melena,meaning black "tarry" feces which are the result of blood having undergone digestion. most of the time bloody stools are somethingbenign like hemorrhoids or constipation, but it doesn't hurt to be too safe. if you have a number of these bowel symptomscombined, seeing a doctor is a must. sure, nobody likes to get a colonoscopy, butit might be the only way to properly visualize a mass up there.
while colon cancer is most common in the elderly,they are becoming increasingly common in middle aged people. number 1: persistent cough or hoarseness ofthe voice everyone gets colds and usually there is absolutelynothing to worry about, even if you feel like coughing up a lung. but when it is accompanied with hoarse sounds,or blood, it's a red flag, and time for you to see a doctor. especially when no other symptoms that usuallyaccompany colds and allergies like a stuffy nose is present.
although most coughs are benign, a bloodyor persistent one that's different than your regular cough must be examined to rule outlung cancer. a chest x-ray or ct scan would be most recommended. jim and diane lake, a couple from fremont,indiana would agree with this fact. one november day in 2016, they were watchingthe news, when a doctor on screen said that all old smokers over 55 should get a ct scan. concerned, jim persuaded his wife who hadbeen smoking for many years to see a doctor, and a tumor showed up in her right lung. it was confirmed as lung cancer, and the entiremass was surgically removed the following
month. if the lakes ignored that one piece advicethey heard on tv, the cancer would have spread unnoticed until it was too late.
