"All of these were early symptoms of liver cancer.”
After undergoing a close examination of her mother's health, A's two minds intersect. My mother often said, "I have no energy." Come to think of it, my mother suddenly lost a lot of weight for no reason. I thought it was strange, so I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the results showed that it was an early symptom of liver cancer. Still, I'm glad I found it early, but I can't help but feel dizzy.
Cancer is the number one cause of death in Korea, with 220,000 new cancer patients every year. According to the National Cancer Information Center, it is estimated that about one in three people will develop cancer if they live to the age of 82 in Korea. It's a scary and scary story.
There was also a positive
study. A research team at the National Cancer Center said that patients with gastric cancer, colon cancer, female breast cancer, cervical cancer, prostate cancer, and thyroid cancer, who were diagnosed in the early stages of cancer and did not spread to other organs, have a five-year survival rate of more than 90%. This is the result of a follow-up survey of 620,000 adult men and women diagnosed with cancer from 2006 to 2011. That’s why the early detection of cancer is so important.
Chronic cough, a sign of stomach cancer?
I often think I have a cold when I cough. But if the cough has been going on for months, it could be another sign from the body.
At
MBN’s “Cold Leak,” Kim Sung-hoon, a physician, said, “Coughing may be a warning signal for cancer, not just because of a cold.” Patients with gastrointestinal diseases such as gastritis and reflux esophagitis often have backflow of stomach acid, which stimulates the larynx and leads to chronic cough.
According to the results of a study by
St. Seoul Hospital, 68% of chronic cough patients in the middle-aged class suffer from reflux esophagitis symptoms together. If left unattended, it can lead to esophageal stenosis, esophageal cancer, and stomach cancer. The only sign of chronic cough is not stomach disease. Pulmonary diseases such as pneumonia and pulmonary tuberculosis and heart diseases should also be suspected.
Kim internal medicine specialist
△Stomach disease : The worst and most choking cough when waking up in the morning of the day
△ Lung disease: Cough with sputum boiling with wheezing as the body develops fever
△Heart Disease : Dry cough without sputum that gets worse when lying down
Three symptoms were described separately as.
Coughs aren’t the only danger signs for
gastric cancer.
△ Symptoms of indigestion appear frequently
△The upper abdomen is bloated and abdominal pain occurs
△ I feel nausea and pressure in my stomach
△ developed anemia
△I have diarrhea, and sometimes I see blood in my stool
△Lost weight for no reason
△ Blood is visible when a lump is touched or vomited on the stomach.If symptoms of
or more appear, gastritis and gastric ulcers, including gastric cancer, should be suspected.
If the toilet floats...Signaling Pancreatic Cancer?
Pancreatic cancer is called the silent killer. There is also a widespread perception that it is "late as soon as it is found" because there are few or few initial symptoms, and it is difficult to diagnose because it is deep in our body.
In the
KBS1 “Secret of the Life and Death,” pancreatic cancer is divided into a total of four stages depending on the degree of progression, and it is said that 20% of them are found in the first and second stages when surgery is possible. It is also a cancer that requires more careful attention to body signals.
One of the early signs of
pancreatic cancer is the presence of oil on the toilet. In JTBC’s “Doctor’s Match,” surgeon Kang Se-hoon said, “More than 20 digestive enzymes are secreted in the pancreas. When a tumor occurs here, the secretion of pancreatic fluid is blocked. “Since the only thing that digests fat is pancreatic fluid, when there is a problem with the pancreas, fat is not digested, so the oil floats on the toilet,” he said.
Also, the body's signals to suspect pancreatic cancer are as follows.
△ indigestion, a symptom of abdominal discomfort
△ abdominal pain characterized by pain spreading toward the back
△ Loss of weight by more than 10% compared to usual within 6 months due to impaired absorption and loss of appetite due to reduced pancreatic fluid secretion
△Jaundice is visible as cancer grown on the head of the pancreas blocks the biliary tract, a passage through which bile goes down.
Fart Smell Beyond Degree, Signals of Colorectal Cancer?
The
colon is the place that controls bowel movements. If you experience abnormal bowel movements, you should suspect early symptoms of colon cancer. It’s not just bowel movements. The smell of farts is also one of the signs of colon cancer.
On
TV Chosun’s “My Body Plus,” Yoo Byung-wook, a family medicine specialist, said, “If you smell farts or feces that smell like rotten eggs and rotten onions, the red light for colon health has been turned on.”
The problem was caused by intestinal bleeding and necrosis as feces passed through the colon mucosa where cancer cells grew, said a family medicine specialist at #101. “The smell of farts or feces is as terrible as rotten eggs and onions.”
In addition to
here are the signals for colorectal cancer.
△ Look at the thinner side than before
△ Mucus increases and mixes with stool
#11$ △ I see dark red blood stools△I have frequent diarrhea or constipation
△ I feel like I have a bowel movement left after the bowel movement
△Suddenly, it became difficult to defecate or the number of defecations decreased.
If it corresponds toor more, you can consult a specialist or check it yourself through a colon cancer self-diagnosis kit.
tine and mole changes, a sign of skin cancer?
Skin cancer is increasing in modern people exposed to strong ultraviolet rays. According to data from the Health Insurance Review Board, the number of people treated for skin cancer increased by about 42% from 17,455 in 2015 to 19,435 in 2016. In particular, the incidence of life-threatening malignant melanoma derived from skin melanin cells has been gradually increasing in Korea since the 2000s.
Among
skin cancers, 20% to 50% of the most dangerous melanoma occurs in conventional spots. The method of distinguishing melanoma from mole is as follows.
△ Asymmetry: If a point that used to be symmetrical grows to one side and the symmetry breaks
△Boundary: The boundary between the edge of the dot and the normal skin is usually clear, but the point of abnormal growth becomes ambiguous
△Color: The color of the dot does not change as a whole, but only a part of it darkens or blurs, showing several shades
△Size: The larger the mole, the more likely it is to develop melanoma
△What's changing: Moles do not mean much for adolescents in their growth period, but the fact that they continue to grow alone in adults who have stopped growing requires immediate treatment.
