According to Julie Sharp of Cancer Research UK, detecting cancer at an early stage increases the chances of successful treatment.
Among these rare signs of cancer; Feeling tired, in addition to indigestion and hoarseness, which are changes that the individual should not overlook if they appear.
According to the British newspaper “The Sun”, there are 6 important symptoms that are not widely known of cancer:
- Persistent indigestion and heartburn:
These two things happen to people frequently, but if they persist for a long time and are not eliminated, there is reason to be vigilant.
This is caused by acids that irritate the stomach and even the throat, and can be made worse by foods and drinks like coffee, tomatoes, and spicy foods.
Smokers, along with pregnant women, are among the most vulnerable to indigestion.
- Constant bloating:
This is quite normal, especially in people with health conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome.
But if the bloating lasts for several days, and can last for weeks, it is better to consult a doctor for reassurance.
Flatulence is one of the symptoms of ovarian cancer, so it’s not related to overeating or certain meals.
- Fatigue
It is normal for people to feel tired, especially after long working days, because the body is not an ironing machine, however, feeling tired all the time warns of a possible health disorder.
Persistent fatigue, the causes of which are not clearly known, can be part of the symptoms of leukemia, and the reason is that it starts in the bone marrow, which produces red blood cells that carry oxygen in the blood.
- Mouth Ulcers:
In the event that it appears on the mouth and tongue and persists for more than three weeks, it is necessary to consult a doctor and not neglect the matter.
This ulcer is a possible indicator of mouth cancer and can lead to difficulty swallowing food or even speaking.
- Cough and hoarseness:
These two symptoms accompany several diseases, some of which are as simple as a cold, but the duration of the cough requires attention, as if it lasted more than three weeks.
The same goes for hoarseness, especially if it lasts longer than ten days, as it may be linked to throat cancer.
- Night sweats:
In the event that sweating is not caused by sleeping in a poorly ventilated room or being in hot weather, it is a kind of “alarm bell” to serious illnesses, including cancer.
