Prostate cancer is a common prostate disease. Many men do not take enough care of themselves, which will lead to the occurrence of diseases. Cancer is a disease that everyone does not want to face, but cancer needs to be faced and paid attention to. There are many symptoms of cancer that need to be understood.
What are the symptoms of cancer? This is something you need to know. After all, early detection of cancer is beneficial for you to receive treatment in time. The specific symptoms are as follows.
Fever
If there is fever and the cause is unknown, it may be a tumor. Of course, most of the fever is caused by infection or pneumonia, and should also be treated by a doctor. Some cancers will cause fever at a certain period, such as cancer spread, metastasis, or blood cancer, such as lymphoma or leukemia. So if you can't explain the fever, you must see a doctor.
Skin changes
The pigmented nevus on the skin is enlarged. It is well known to be on guard against cancer. But other changes in the skin should also be noted. In case of sudden bleeding or excessive desquamation on the skin, consult a doctor. It is very difficult to say how long it will take for the skin to change. It is generally believed that attention should be paid to it after a few weeks.
Bleed where it should not
For example, you should see a doctor for coughing up blood, spitting blood, urinating blood and gastrointestinal bleeding. Don't think that blood in stool is due to hemorrhoids, and the manifestation of colorectal cancer is also stool bleeding.
Oral changes
If you smoke, you should pay special attention to whether there are white spots in the mouth or white spots on the tongue. These changes indicate blood spot disease. This is a precancerous lesion that may progress to oral cancer. Ask a doctor or dentist for treatment.
Urination problem
Men often have urination problems when they are old, such as frequent urination, endless urination, and urgency. However, if these symptoms are serious, you should see a urologist to rule out prostate cancer or prostatic hyperplasia.
Dyspepsia
Many people, especially the elderly, believe that obvious indigestion is the effect of heart attack. However, persistent dyspepsia may be caused by esophageal cancer and gastric cancer, and should be treated.
Breast mass
Most men don't think of breast cancer, and often think it is a "special train" for women. In fact, although it is rare, it is possible. When a man finds a lump in the breast, especially the local skin is sunken and wrinkled, the nipple is shrunk or there is secretion, and the breast is red or desquamated, he must go to see a doctor.
Pain
Although most of the pain is not cancer, local persistent pain should be seen. Even if the doctor's diagnosis is not cancer, it is worthwhile to treat other diseases.
Constant abdominal colic and depression
If you have abdominal pain and depression, you should have a good examination, because pancreatic cancer is related to depression. Other symptoms may also include jaundice or stool color change, such as gray stool.
Testicular changes
When testicles have any symptoms, you should ask a doctor for examination. For example, the testicle is enlarged or shrunk, or there is a mass, or the scrotum is heavy. Sometimes testicular tumors grow very fast, so early detection is the key.
Lymphatic gland changes
If a lump or lymph gland enlargement is found in the armpit, neck or other parts, you should see a doctor. Especially after a month of continuous enlargement of lymph glands, you must ask a doctor for examination.
Weight loss
You didn't diet and exercise to lose weight, but your weight decreased significantly. If it reduces by more than 10% in a short time (such as a few weeks), you should go to a doctor.
Tiredness
Fatigue is also a very common symptom. Everyone will be tired after a long time of work or activity. If you often feel extremely sleepy and do not get rid of it after rest, you should ask a doctor for examination, because it may be related to cancer. Such as leukemia, some colon cancer, stomach cancer, etc.
Persistent cough
Colds, flu, allergies, etc. all cough, and the side effects of some drugs also cough. However, chronic cough (referring to cough for more than three or four weeks) should not be ignored, especially smokers should seek medical attention. It may be a symptom of lung cancer, or chronic bronchitis or acid reflux.
Dysphagia
Some people find it difficult to swallow, but they don't think so. They think that eating more liquid and drinking more soup will solve the problem. In fact, dysphagia may be caused by digestive tract tumors, such as esophageal cancer, which should be examined by a doctor.
