Don’t ignore the early symptoms of various tumors!

As we all know, there are benign tumors and malignant tumors. In the early stages of a tumor, patients experience obvious physical discomfort. However, many people tend to ignore this disease information, always thinking that there is no big problem and that it may get better after a few days of delay. However, as long as the following symptoms occur, you should get checked as soon as possible!

Warning signs of cancer tumors:

1. A lump in any part of the body, such as the breast, neck, or abdomen, especially one that gradually increases in size.

2. Ulcers occurring without external trauma in any part of the body, such as the tongue, buccal mucosa, skin, etc., especially those that do not heal for a long time.

3. Women over middle age experience irregular vaginal bleeding or discharge (commonly known as increased leucorrhea).

4. Distress, burning pain, foreign body sensation behind the sternum or progressively worsening difficulty in swallowing when eating.

5. Dry cough that does not heal for a long time or blood in sputum.

6. Those who suffer from long-term indigestion, progressive loss of appetite, weight loss, and no clear cause can be found.

7. Changes in bowel habits or blood in the stool.

8. Nasal congestion, epistaxis, unilateral headache or accompanied by diplopia.

9. The mole suddenly grows larger or breaks, bleeds, or the original hair falls off.

10. Painless hematuria.

In addition to the above ten symptoms, there are also some other signs that require high vigilance.

1. Persistent and worsening unilateral headache, vomiting and visual disturbances, especially unexplained diplopia.

2. Tinnitus, hearing loss, respiration of bloody sputum, and neck lump.

3. Unexplained oral bleeding, oropharyngeal discomfort, foreign body sensation or oral pain.

4. Painless and continuously worsening jaundice.

5. Nipple discharge, especially bloody discharge.

6. Male breasts grow and proliferate.

7. Unexplained fatigue, anemia and fever.

8. General pain and bone and joint pain of unknown cause.

In addition, precancerous lesions should also be considered early signs. Such as mucosal leukoplakia, chronic skin ulcers, fistulas, proliferative scars (especially scars caused by chemical burns), atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia, multiple rectal polyps, skin keratosis (especially palmar keratosis at the thenar and hypothenar eminences, cystic lobular hyperplasia of the breast, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, etc.) can develop into cancer.

The World Health Organization has also proposed "eight warning signs" as signals for early detection of tumors.

First, you should pay special attention to any lumps or tumors in any part of the body, such as lumps found in the breast, skin, and tongue, and lumps in the abdomen, especially those with irregular shapes, rough surfaces, and those that may gradually increase in size (such as breast cancer, tongue cancer, skin cancer, and liver cancer may have the above symptoms);

Second, warts or moles have obvious changes (such as malignant melanoma);

Third, persistent digestive disorders, which may be accompanied by progressive weight loss and poor appetite (such as gastric cancer and liver cancer);

Fourth, persistent hoarseness (such as lung cancer, laryngeal cancer), dry cough (such as lung cancer) and dysphagia (such as esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, pharyngeal cancer), burning, pain and foreign body sensation behind the sternum after eating, which may progressively worsen (such as esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, pharyngeal cancer);

Fifth, irregular menstruation, heavy bleeding, extramenstrual bleeding, abnormal and increased vaginal discharge, especially in middle-aged and elderly women (such as ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer);

Sixth, unexplained bleeding in the nose, ears, bladder or intestines (such as nasopharyngeal cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer);

Seventh, the wound continues to not heal, especially the wound that occurs spontaneously without external trauma, and the swelling continues to not subside (such as skin cancer, oral cancer, testicular cancer);

8. Unexplained weight loss: Recent continuous weight loss is a common symptom in most cancer patients (such as liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, esophageal cancer, and gastric cancer).

In addition, we should also pay attention to understanding the early manifestations of common tumors, which will help detect tumors at an early stage.
