Most women know how important it is to get a check-up once in a while.
But not everyone knows about silent signs of possible sickness.
Today we’ll be talking about 18 symptoms women often ignore.
Why is unexplained weight loss a problem? What does difficulty swallowing indicate?
Is constant indigestion and bloating bad? We’ll be discussing all of these AND more…
1. Unexplained weight loss
Losing weight is exciting, but only when you’re doing it willingly.
Unexplained weight loss is an alarming sign that not everything’s right with your body.
It could be hormonal imbalance, thyroid issues, metabolism problems, or even cancer.
I don’t mean to scare you. But if you find that you’ve lost quite a bit of weight without effort, get a proper checkup done.
An overactive thyroid can lead to a faster metabolism.
It’s characterized by a faster heartbeat, overproduction of thyroid hormone, and fatigue.
Arthritis can be another reason for weight loss. Chronic inflammation
can lead to a faster metabolism. This leads to losing pounds.
Diabetes, depression, and inflammatory bowel disease are among other causes.
Experts say one of the earliest signs of cancer is weight loss.
Other early symptoms of cancer include fatigue, pain, skin changes, and fever.
Cancer increases inflammation in your body, which promotes muscle wasting. It also disrupts your appetite-regulating hormones.
The growing tumor also increases the amount of energy you expend while resting. This means you’ll burn more calories, leading to weight loss.
Have you successfully lost weight? What helped you reach your goal?
2. Breast changes
Your breast size fluctuates with weight. This is often due to hormonal changes.
When you’re pregnant, your breasts get larger to support the child’s needs.
But if you’re experiencing changes for no apparent reason, you need to visit a doctor. Make it a habit to examine yourself and look for lumps.
If you find one, don’t immediately assume the worst, but cancer is often one of the reasons.
It’s not just lumps that are a cause for concern.
A rash that’s stayed for a couple of weeks can also indicate a specific type of breast cancer.
Any changes in your breasts, without clear reason, are signs you need to visit a doctor.
