Why It Matters
Unexplained weight loss may be linked to cancers such as:
- Pancreatic cancer
- Stomach cancer
- Lung cancer
These cancers often affect metabolism, appetite, and digestion. If you lose more than 10 pounds in a short period without changes in lifestyle, consult your doctor.
2. Persistent Fatigue
Feeling tired is common, but chronic, unexplained fatigue is different. If exhaustion continues even after getting enough sleep, something more serious may be happening.
Possible Causes
Persistent fatigue can be a symptom of:
- Leukemia (blood cancer)
- Colon cancer
- Other hidden conditions that weaken the body
Women should pay attention when tiredness becomes overwhelming and interferes with daily life.
