Medical Video: 😧 Warning Signs And Symptoms Of Cervical Cancer | How to Know If You Have Cervical Cancer
Cancer is a serious disease that can affect men and women in all age groups. Well, especially in women, there are certain symptoms that can indicate the presence of cancer cells in the body. The following are various symptoms of cancer in women that you should not ignore.
Recognize various symptoms of cancer in women
The body often shows the presence of cancer cells with some symptoms that you may not realize. The faster you realize it, the faster the treatment can be done so that the cancer does not spread widely.
Here are some symptoms to watch out for:
1. Vaginal bleeding after menopause
If you have menopause, it means that you (should) have no menstruation anymore. So, bleeding that comes out of the vagina after menopause is not a natural thing and is actually suspect.
According to an obstetrician from the United States, Mariam AlHilli, MD., 10 percent of cases of vaginal bleeding after menopause are usually caused by endometrial cancer. In addition, other causes are uterine cancer and cervical cancer. For that, immediately consult a doctor when you experience this.
2. Irregular menstruation
If you are not menopausal but have had irregular menstruation for a long time, this can be a sign of ovarian cancer. Especially if the menstrual pattern is long (more than 14 consecutive days) or often (twice or even more in a month), and also accompanied by severe pelvic pain.
If you experience this condition, immediately consult a doctor.
3. Sudden weight loss
When you see the number of scales drop dramatically, don't be happy first. Without diet and exercise, body weight usually tends to be stable. If it goes down, the reduction is not drastic.
Sudden loss of weight without a clear cause can be an early sign of cancer that is not widely realized. Generally, this condition is a sign of blood cancer such as leukemia or lymphoma.
4. Fatigue that never goes away
Generally, the body will return to a fresh stamina after taking a break. But if the body actually gets tired even though it's been resting long enough, this should be wary of. Especially if this fatigue continues for a long time accompanied by other symptoms such as shortness of breath and appetite that disappears every day.
