<\/p>\nCancer can be a devastating disease that comes out of nowhere. Those diagnosed often notice few symptoms, and they feel fine when they\u2019re blindsided with a diagnosis. Signs and symptoms of cancer can be very small and easy to miss. Recognizing these 10 signs that cancer maybe growing in your body can be vital to catching it early and saving your life.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1. A Lump Beneath the Skin<\/em><\/p>\n Lumps in breast tissue are often discovered by those who\u00a0regularly perform self-exams. Regularly performing self-exams and knowing what to look for can help you recognize when something has changed. Self-exams can be performed on other parts of the body as well, and can allow you to discover lumps before they develop into larger tumors.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/ins><\/div>\n The body treats cancer as a bacteria. The immune system fights it by using white blood cells to attempt to destroy it. This increases blood flow in the area of cancerous growth, causing the area to feel warm, appear red, change color, feel tight or itch.<\/p>\n If you notice that a cut or another skin injury is\u00a0taking a long time to heal, it could be a sign that cancer is growing in your body. Your immune system has to prioritize, and the cancer takes priority. A wound isn\u2019t as important so it may take the body longer to heal that injury.<\/p>\n Bumps that appear inside the mouth, gums or throat, especially if they are white in color, should be checked out by a health care professional.<\/p>\n If your digestive process is disrupted, you have trouble swallowing, or you suffer from indigestion or experience a loss of appetite, these issues should be checked out by a doctor, as they will affect the body\u2019s ability to get nutrients from the food that you eat.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6. Changes in Bowel Movements<\/em><\/p>\n Anything that appears out of the ordinary regarding bowel movements and lasts more than two days could be cause for concern. Finding blood in your stools could be\u00a0a sign of colon cancer, and it should be evaluated by a medical professional.<\/p>\n Bladder function should be fairly regular when you are healthy. Changes in the strength of urine flow, color, smell, presence of foam or blood should be checked out immediately.<\/p>\n Bleeding that is unexplained should always be checked. Blood from the uterus, nipple or in any bodily excretions can be a major sign of a problem.<\/p>\n Cancer of the larynx\u00a0can cause the pitch and tone of your voice to change. If you notice your voice changing or someone else mentions it, make an appointment with a health care professional.<\/p>\n Cancer of the lungs, esophagus, throat and even stomach can cause\u00a0constant coughing. If you\u2019ve had a persistent cough that is painful, or you find yourself coughing up blood, check in with a doctor. Coughing that lasts longer than 1-2 weeks may be much more than a cold.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n Cancer can be a devastating disease that comes out of nowhere.
