Cancer is a serious disease, which has become a matter of concern all over the world. Especially in India, cases of this deadly disease are increasing rapidly for some time.

The celebration of this day (National Cancer Awareness Day History) started in India in the year 2014. Its purpose is to increase awareness among people about the prevention, identification and treatment of cancer.

Cancer is a fatal disease , but it is possible to avoid it if it is identified in time. There are many types of this disease, which are known by the same names because they occur in different parts of the body. Also, when the disease starts, the body also gives some warning signs, with the help of which it can be identified in time. In such a situation, today in this article we will tell you about some early symptoms of cancer (Cancer's Early Warning Signs) told by WHO.

Abnormal bleeding or discharge

If you are bleeding in urine or stool, do not ignore it at all. This can be a warning sign of cancer. Also, if there is discharge from any part of your body such as nipples or penis, contact the doctor immediately.

wound that is not healing

Any wound in the body heals with time, but if you do not see any wound healing for a long time, do not take it lightly. Delay in healing, excessive pain or bleeding in the wound can be a sign of cancer.

Changes in bowel or bladder habits

Changes in bowel or bladder habits can also be early symptoms of cancer. This includes changes in the colour, consistency, size of stool i.e. diarrhoea or constipation. Apart from this, presence of blood in urine or stool can also be a symptom of this.

A lump in the breast or other part of the body

If you feel any kind of lump in your breast or any other part of the body, then immediately get it checked by a doctor. These lumps in the body can be the beginning of cancer. In such a situation, get it checked without ignoring it.

Persistent cough

If you have been suffering from cough for a long time and it is not going away, then it can be a sign of cancer . Apart from this, a change in voice while breathing or wheezing and spitting with blood can also be a sign of cancer.

difficulty swallowing

If you feel pressure in your throat or chest and have trouble swallowing, be careful. Also, if you feel full without eating anything or even after eating a small amount of food, then contact your doctor without delay.
