9. Blood in Stool or Rectum
Visible blood may be a warning of colorectal can.cer and warrants immediate medical evaluation.
10. Sudden Weight Loss
Losing weight without trying could indicate can.cer of the colon, stomach, or liver, as these affect how the body processes toxins and appetite.
11. Abdominal Cramps
Regular stomach pain and cramping may also be symptoms of colorectal can.cer.
12. Swollen or Painful Breasts
Unusual redness, swelling, or pain in the breast could be a signal of breast can.cer.
13. Abnormal Menstrual Symptoms
Heavy, painful, or irregular periods might point to uterine can.cer—consider a transvaginal ultrasound.
14. Facial Swelling
Swelling and redness in the face may occur when lung tumors obstruct blood flow to the upper body.
15. Skin Changes or Sores
Persistent wounds, discoloration, or other skin irregularities could be early signs of skin can.cer.
16. Nail Abnormalities
Darkened or pale nails may signal skin, lung, or liver can.cer, depending on the pattern of change.
17. Persistent Back Pain
Chronic backache might be related to can.cers of the liver, breast, ribs, or spine.
18. Pelvic or Lower Abdominal Pain
This type of pain can indicate ovarian can.cer—or, in cases of leukemia, an enlarged spleen.
19. Loss of Appetite
Eating less or feeling full quickly could suggest ovarian can.cer.
20. Inverted N!pples
N!pples turning inward over time—not present since birth—can be an indicator of breast can.cer and should be checked by a doctor.
When to Seek Help
It’s important to remember that having one or even several of these symptoms doesn’t mean you have can.cer. However, they are warning signals that your body needs medical attention. If any of these signs persist, don’t delay—consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and peace of mind.
