Unexplained Pain
Chronic pain that persists without any apparent cause or that doesn’t improve with conventional treatments may signal an underlying health issue, including cancer. Pay attention to any unexplained pains and consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
Changes in Bowel or Bladder Habits
Changes in bowel or bladder habits, such as sudden constipation, diarrhea, blood in the stool, or frequent urination, could indicate various gastrointestinal or urinary tract cancers. Any persistent changes in these habits should prompt a visit to a healthcare provider for further investigation.
Persistent Cough or Hoarseness
A persistent cough or hoarseness that lingers for more than a few weeks could be a warning sign of lung cancer or other respiratory conditions. It’s essential to seek medical attention if you experience these symptoms, especially if you’re a current or former smoker.
