Do you have a malignant tumor in your body? Be alert to these 7 body signals

Tumors are divided into benign and malignant tumors. Malignant tumors, which we often call "cancer", are extremely destructive. They not only invade the primary organs, but may also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymphatic systems, seriously threatening life.

So, how can we detect the signs of malignant tumors at an early stage? According to the latest medical research and clinical observations, the following are 7 body signs that may indicate malignant tumors. Please pay attention to them.

These 7 body signals may be the "knock on the door" of cancer

1. Continuous fatigue and weakness

When cancer cells multiply rapidly in the body, they consume a lot of energy and are often accompanied by chronic inflammation, which leads to continuous activation of the body's anti-inflammatory system, further depleting the body's energy.

This type of fatigue caused by cancer is different from the tiredness after daily fatigue. It is a deep feeling of weakness that makes people feel as if they are being pressed down by a huge rock. If you find yourself feeling extremely tired for a long time and it doesn't get better after rest , please pay attention to it.

2. Itching all over the body

Sometimes, cancer cells release substances that can cause skin reactions and cause systemic itching.

This kind of itching is different from ordinary skin allergies. It is often difficult to relieve with conventional means, which seriously affects the patient's quality of life . If you encounter this situation, please do not simply think it is a skin disease and ignore the deeper problem.

3. Unexplained weight loss

Unexplained weight loss is also a common sign of cancer. This is because cancer cells are constantly competing with normal cells for nutrients, causing the body to gradually become weaker and thinner.

Especially when weight loss exceeds 5% in a short period of time , it should cause sufficient alarm.

4. Changes in bowel habits

Digestive tract tumors such as colorectal cancer may cause significant changes in bowel habits, such as diarrhea or constipation alternating from once a day to multiple times a day, or even blood in the stool . These abnormalities require prompt medical attention.

5. Persistent cough and difficulty swallowing

For patients with lung cancer, esophageal cancer or thyroid cancer, they may experience persistent dry cough or sputum with blood. At the same time, due to the compression of nerve tissue by the tumor, they may also feel discomfort or even pain when swallowing food.

If these symptoms persist for a long time (usually more than a month) , you need to seek professional medical help for diagnosis as soon as possible.

6. Lumps found accidentally: Small lumps that are difficult to move occasionally felt in the breasts, armpits, neck, etc. may be early signs of tumors.

Although not all lumps mean cancer, for safety reasons, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for further examination as soon as possible to eliminate hidden dangers if you discover such a phenomenon.

7. Hoarseness

If your voice suddenly becomes hoarse, especially if you don't have a cold or fever, you should also consider whether it is caused by a throat tumor. You should be more vigilant when accompanied by symptoms such as swallowing difficulties.

How to effectively prevent cancer?

Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption: Harmful substances in tobacco directly damage lung health, and alcohol is one of the causes of diseases such as liver cancer.

Maintain a healthy weight: Avoid obesity, as excess weight can increase your risk of many types of cancer.

Improve your lifestyle habits: maintain a regular schedule, reduce stress, participate in regular physical exercise, and enhance immunity.

Eat a balanced diet: eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, less processed food, and control sugar and salt intake.

The best attitude to face the disease is to face it head-on. If you find any of the above signs, please don't delay and go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination as soon as possible. Finally, remember to share it with more people~
