Early Signs Of Cancer You Should Not Ignore

Pelvic or abdominal pain

There are many possible causes of pelvic or abdominal pain in women. The pain could be caused by fibroids, ovarian cysts, other reproductive tract disorders, an enlarged spleen (as in the case of leukemia) as well as cancer.

If your abdominal or pelvic pain is accompanied by abdominal bloating as well as abnormality in your menses (e.g. unusually heavy or painful periods or bleeding between periods), you should be especially concerned. Check with your doctor to rule out the various possibilities.

Other signs and symptoms

Other than paying attention to the above signs and symptoms, you should also take special care if you experience symptoms of discomfort that seem to appear out of the blues.

Examples include unexplained difficulty in swallowing (such as in esophageal or throat cancer), shortness of breath (such as in thyroid or lung cancer), excessive bruising or bleeding that doesn’t stop, weight loss, a sore or skin lump that doesn’t heal, becomes crusty, or bleeds easily (such as in skin cancer), frequent fevers (such as in leukemia), frequent infection (suggesting low immunity), chronic cough (such as in lung cancer and leukemia) as well as jaundice (such as in pancreatic cancer).

What to do if you find yourself with the above symptoms

You might notice that many of the symptoms of cancer can also be seen in other less life-threatening illnesses. So rather than get yourself paranoid about having cancer every time you observe such symptoms in yourself, you can consider the symptoms to be your body’s way of telling you that your bodily system(s) is in need of care or treatment. Do give your body the attention and care it needs.

Some might point out that it is important to get yourself screened and diagnosed (using conventional cancer detection tools) for cancer as soon as possible, since early treatment can “save lives”. Nonetheless, there are some controversies as to the safety and effectiveness of such diagnostic methods, which would however not be discussed here.

Regardless of whether you actually go for a cancer screen or not, from a holistic point of view, ensuring that your body is constantly kept in tip top condition through holistic healing and good health habits are definitely your best bet against cancer.

What to do if you find yourself with cancer

Cancer is not a new disease that appeared only in the recent centuries. There has been ancient records of traditional healers (like practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda) successfully treating such malicious growths in the human body as early as several thousand years ago.

This means that traditional healing systems could be as apt at dealing with cancer (if not more) as our current mainstream medical systems. In fact, traditional healing systems could be even more effective, when they actually address the person’s health condition holistically. These are definitely potential sources of help if you or your loved one is found to have cancer.
