Cancer in the body, leg and foot prophet? There are four characteristics of 'legs and feet', it is recommended to check as soon as possible
Cancer is a malignant disease with a high incidence in recent years. On average, nearly 10,000 people are diagnosed with cancer every day!
Cancer may appear in any organ and tissue. Lung cancer, digestive tract cancer, liver cancer, etc. are all cancers with high incidence at present.
These cancers have a common feature. Patients are almost difficult to detect in the early stages, and some patients don't even show abnormality. As the disease continues to develop, symptoms will gradually appear, but at this time, the best opportunity for treatment has long been missed!
For advanced cancer, the clinical cure rate is very small, and the patient will eventually die under endless pain and torture. Therefore, there is only one standard for cancer treatment in clinical practice, that is, early detection and early treatment!
Although the symptoms of pain in the early stage of cancer are not obvious, there are other reactions in the body, such as the following four manifestations in the legs and feet, and you need to be careful about the signals that may be sent by cancer:
How did the shape of the toes change?
The toes are the most neglected area, but some diseases can be reflected in the toes. For example, lung cancer is one of them. If you have recently noticed that the ends of your toes are abnormally swollen, thickened, and bulged on the surface of your skin, this may be one of the symptoms of chronic lung disease or a sign of the arrival of lung cancer;
Because when the lung becomes cancerous, it first reduces its own respiratory function, especially when the cancer blocks the large airways, patients will experience significant dyspnea, chest tightness, shortness of breath and chest pain. As the feet at the end of the limbs, due to the lack of blood oxygen supply, there will be abnormal growth, forming a clubbing finger.
Unusual lower extremity edema
The sudden occurrence of lower extremity edema should first exclude the influence of physiological factors, including prolonged sitting and drinking too much water. Generally, physiological edema does not last long and can be relieved by physical activity. However, if there has been severe edema in the lower extremity recently, the rebound is slow when pressed with the hand, and the edema persists for a long time, this may be a manifestation of cancer;
Many cancers can cause edema in the legs, especially liver and cervical cancers. Cancer not only depletes the body of nutrients, but it also causes an imbalance in cellular osmotic pressure and water seeps into the interstitial spaces. At the same time, the cancer can also compress the nerves and blood vessels of the lower extremities during the developmental stage, eventually leading to persistent edema. The later the cancer, the more obvious the symptoms of edema.
Sudden lump in leg
Although there are cells in the human body, cancer may occur, but carcinoma in situ that occurs in the legs is rare, and most of them are metastatic cancers . Under normal circumstances, the legs of healthy people should be smooth. If there is an abnormal mass in the legs recently , it may be a signal of cancer metastasis. For example, lung cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer , etc., may have bone metastasis, leading to A lump in the leg.
Changes in moles on legs
Mole is the product of pigment accumulation under the skin, which is divided into two types: congenital and acquired, but no matter what kind of pigmented nevus, as long as it grows, it will not change. If the mole on the leg has recently changed suddenly, such as abnormal growth of more than 1 cm, repeated rupture of the surface, and unclear borders, it may be a signal of mole cancer, also known clinically as malignant melanoma, which is one of the skin cancers.
Although cancer can cause abnormal changes in the legs, it is not the standard for diagnosing cancer. Other types of disorders can cause similar leg symptoms. Therefore, when a physical abnormality is found, the first thing to do is not to be afraid, but to actively check, diagnose what is wrong with the body, and then carry out scientific treatment.
