Or have people always told you that you have a sour smell that can't be washed off? If so, then you should be careful, because this may be a warning sign of cancer from your body! Today we will talk about two types of cancer that may be related to odor - nasopharyngeal cancer and gastric cancer .

I always smell a strange smell, it may be nasopharyngeal cancer

If you always smell a strange odor in the house, like something is broken, or rotten eggs, burning cloth or even dust, but your family can't smell it , and you also have persistent and difficult-to-heal migraines (always pain in the same part of the body), nasal congestion (developing from one side to both sides, and even being able to breathe only through your mouth), ear swelling, tinnitus and hearing loss, then southern men between the ages of 40 and 59 should be particularly alert to nasopharyngeal cancer.

Nasopharyngeal cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs at the top and side walls of the nasopharynx. When the tumor grows into the nasal cavity, it damages the nasal mucosa. The abnormal activity of tumor cells and bacterial growth will produce a foul odor. This is the source of the strange smell you smell. In addition, when nasopharyngeal cancer develops to the skull base, it may also damage nerves and cause abnormal smell.

One of the "black hands" behind nasopharyngeal cancer is the Epstein-Barr virus. This is a double-stranded DNA virus that many people have been infected with in childhood. It will lurk in the body and may cause problems when the immune system is weakened. It is particularly prevalent in some provinces in southern China. The Epstein-Barr virus is mainly transmitted through oral saliva. Behaviors such as kissing and chewing food to feed children may spread the virus, so these close saliva contact behaviors should be avoided to prevent Epstein-Barr virus infection.

If you have a sour odor on your body, beware of stomach cancer

The following four groups of people should be checked in time if they have a sour smell on their bodies:

First, for people over 40 years old , it is recommended to have at least one gastroscopy;

Second, people with a history of chronic gastritis, gastric polyps, and gastric ulcers should have regular checkups;

Third, people who are infected with Helicobacter pylori or have symptoms of stomach damage need to undergo regular gastroscopy;

Fourth, people who have bad habits such as smoking, drinking, and eating spicy food should also have regular check-ups.

In short, cancer does not come suddenly, and body odor may be its early signal. I hope everyone can pay attention to changes in their bodies, maintain a healthy lifestyle, have regular physical examinations, and detect and treat early.
