There is cancer in the body, the 'body' prophet? If there are 5 signs in the body, you need to pay attention
Cancer cells are normal cells that mutate and divide continuously, eventually forming cancer. Cancer cells will pass out of the cancer tumor, enter the lymphatic system or blood system, and transfer to other organs. This is the so-called cancer metastasis.
As long as most cancers are found early, early treatment can increase the cure rate for 5 years. Generally, when there are 5 signs of cancer in the body, the more the cancer is, the cancer cells are spreading rapidly.
What are the symptoms in the body when there is cancer in the body?
1. Progressive weight loss
On the premise that the amount of exercise has not increased and the diet is normal, the weight has gradually decreased, and the weight has lost dozens of kilograms within 6 months. Cancer should be highly suspected. Especially cancers related to the digestive system, such as liver cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, and pancreatic cancer, which hinder digestion and absorption. In addition, the growth of cancer cells requires sufficient nutritional support. When cancer cells proliferate, they will consume nutrients in the body, resulting in body weight loss.
2. It is difficult to explain the pain
Most cancers do not cause obvious pain in the early stage. As the cancer gradually develops, it may invade peripheral nerves or tissues, causing severe pain.
Take lung cancer as an example. After lung cancer becomes cancerous, it can invade the surrounding brachial plexus, causing unbearable pain in the left arm or shoulder, so that people dare not move. Therefore, excluding trauma, when there is unexplainable pain in a certain part of the body, you can't take chances, and you need to seek medical examination as soon as possible.
3. Repeated low-grade fever
Low-grade fever is prone to occur after the middle and advanced stages of cancer, which is called cancer fever in medicine. A low-grade fever occurs as the surface of the cancerous tumor breaks down and dies, allowing the tissue to be reabsorbed by the body. If you have a low-grade fever and no signs of inflammation in your body recently, and it still cannot be relieved even after taking medicine, you need to seek further medical examination to rule out cancer.
4. Jaundice
Jaundice is a typical symptom of various cancers, especially liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, and gallbladder cancer. The manifestations of jaundice vary, and most of them are obstructive jaundice. At first, it was only the whites of the eyes that turned yellow, and then the skin all over the body turned yellow, accompanied by intractable itching of the skin, urine that was as strong as tea, and stools that were clay-colored.
5. Stool abnormal
Cancer of the digestive organs will change the stool, especially pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, and gastric cancer. When the disease in the intestinal tract transforms into cancer, as the cancerous tumor grows gradually, it will easily cause gastrointestinal bleeding, making the stool appear asphalt, and at the same time emit an abnormal fishy smell.
Cancerous changes in the liver and pancreas can also affect food digestion and absorption, leading to diarrhea and steatorrhea. Therefore, you should pay more attention to your stool, and seek medical advice in time regardless of the shape and color of your stool, or changes in your bowel habits.
