In this article, you will know why cancer occurs and how you can recognize it because there are many cancers that are diagnosed very late, and by the time this cancer is detected, it is so late that it becomes difficult to control the disease, and its treatment becomes impossible.
What is Cancer?
The cells in our body are dividing and therefore growing, but our body controls this process by how many more cells will be formed and how many old cells will be destroyed.
In cancer, there is a cell in the body that becomes out of control and continues to grow, this is called cancer.
It is also called a Tumor, and there are two types of tumors: one is a Benign Tumor, which stays in one place and does not grow, and the other is a Malignant Tumor, which grows slowly and spreads dangerously in the body.
In cancer, cells are multiplying too much, so more of the body’s energy is being used to grow these cells, which causes the body to become weak, and weight starts to decrease, and we don’t feel hungry.
Symptoms of cancer in different parts of the body:
Different types of symptoms begin to appear in the area of the body where cancer occurs, so in this article we have described the symptoms of cancer in some parts of the body so that you will be able to know what types of symptoms may appear if cancer occurs in that part of the body, and be able to treat it in time.
1: Skin Cancer
If a wound, scar, or pimple is forming on the skin or if there is already a wound and it is getting bigger, not healing, or its color is changing, then this can also be a danger sign, and you should consult a doctor.
Similarly, Melanoma, which is also called a mole, can often become cancerous. Its recognition is that it will start to increase in size, its color will start to change, and it is also possible that it will start bleeding.
2: Head/brain cancer:
If a cancer is forming in the brain, then the headache is very severe, eye problems start, we feel dizzy, we start to feel drowsy, or it is possible that weakness starts on one side of the body, for example, weakness in the arm, weakness in the leg, and even paralysis starts, meaning weakness on one side of the face starts.
3: Oral/Mouth cancer:
If a sore develops in the mouth that continues to grow in size and has been present for more than three weeks, especially in people who have diabetes, heart problems, or who smoke, it is very common for such people to have cancer.
4: Throat cancer
There are two important things in the throat: one is the respiratory tract, and the other is the food tract. If cancer is developing in the food tract, dysphagia will occur there; food will not be swallowed properly, and when you try to swallow food, it may be painful and difficult.
If cancer is developing in the Respiratory tract, there may be a problem with the voice when speaking. The voice may not come out properly, the voice may suddenly start to become heavy or have any other changes, and there may be difficulty breathing. These may be symptoms of cancer of the voice box. When cancer is forming in any part of the body, other symptoms are common, such as weight loss, loss of appetite, and increased weakness in the body. This is because when cancer cells form anywhere in the body, they draw energy from the body.
5: Stomach cancer
If you have stomach cancer, you will not feel hungry, you will start losing weight, and you may become Anemic.
Because wherever cancer forms, new blood vessels are also formed there, and those blood vessels are not very strong, so they keep breaking, so blood keeps leaking from there.
6: Lung cancer
Lung cancer can cause a cough, blood may come out with the cough, shortness of breath begins after walking for a short while, cold sweats occur in the evening hours,
Lung cancer is very common in people who smoke a lot.
7: Bowel cancer
Bowel cancer can have the same symptoms as most Stomach cancers.
Apart from this, the system of stool excretion starts to change, constipation may start or diarrhoea and motions may also occur, gas may start to form in the stomach, and stomach pain will often start.
8: Liver cancer
The liver also functions within our body to thicken the blood if there is bleeding due to a wound somewhere so that the bleeding outside the wound stops. However, if cancer is growing in the liver, the liver will not thicken the blood and the bleeding will not stop in the event of a wound.
In addition, jaundice will begin to appear, with most parts of the skin starting to turn yellow.
9: Breast cancer
The most common symptoms of breast cancer are that if a lump is forming in the breast, the size of the breast is changing in a strange way, the size of the nipple is changing, or a strange liquid is coming out of the nipple, or a sore is forming on the nipple, then it is very likely that it is cancer.
Women should check their breasts every week and consult a doctor if they notice any unusual changes.
NOTE:
Keep in mind that this article has mentioned many symptoms that may not only occur in cancer but may also be an indication of another disease, so it is very important to consult a good doctor after any symptom and diagnose the disease so that it can be treated on time.
