People with malignant tumors often have 6 symptoms

Doctors at Zhuzhou Central Hospital, China, said that people with malignant tumors often have initial symptoms of bleeding, weight loss, and loss of appetite.

1. Bleeding of unknown cause

Many malignant tumors often manifest with bleeding as the first symptom. According to doctors at Zhuzhou Central Hospital, the main reason is that the surface of malignant tumors is densely covered with blood vessels, so malignant tumors have a very rich blood supply and are prone to bleeding. For example, lung cancer will manifest as coughing up blood, colon cancer as bloody stools, kidney cancer as hematuria, and cervical cancer as vaginal bleeding. Prolonged bleeding can easily lead to anemia, at which point the patient will have symptoms such as pale skin, dizziness, and fatigue.

2. Pain of unknown origin

When a malignant tumor appears, local or distant metastasis can easily occur due to the progression of cancer cells. Combined with the compression of surrounding tissues and organs, it can easily lead to pain. Its main feature is that the pain will become more and more obvious over time. The pain will be more intense at night than during the day. You will often need pain medication.

3. Loss of appetite, weight loss

If you feel loss of appetite and unexplained weight loss, be alert to malignant tumors. As cancer develops, it will produce a large amount of toxins, suppressing appetite. Many cancers are located in the digestive tract or have metastasized to this system, inhibiting the normal secretion of digestive juices, and patients are also prone to loss of appetite.

On the one hand, food intake is reduced, on the other hand, cancer cells consume a large amount of nutrients, so patients are prone to weight loss.

4. Fever and unexplained fatigue

Not all fevers are caused by infections. Some people do not have an infection but have fever of unknown origin. At this point, we should be alert to the possibility of malignancy. Malignant tumors release a large number of necrotic cells into the blood, which can become endogenous pyrogens.

In addition, malignant tumors can destroy the body's immunity and increase the risk of infection. Once infected, patients are prone to high fever and often feel tired all over.

5. Have an abnormal mass of unknown cause

When a malignant tumor appears, it increases in size and can be felt by hand. Doctors at Zhuzhou Central Hospital said that malignant tumors often have unclear boundaries, uneven surfaces, and feel like nodules.

6. Idiopathic immunodeficiency, be alert for malignant tumors

According to doctors, the most important reason why people get cancer is that the immune system is weakened, which gives cancer cells an opportunity to take advantage. If cancer cells continue to progress, it will lead to immune deficiency, which can easily cause depression, general fatigue, and repeated infections.
