Your lymph nodes—in the neck, armpits, and groin—swell with infections. But if they stay puffed up without a clear cause, it could be lymphoma or leukemia. Swollen lymph nodes that stick around or grow should be checked by a doctor.
Non-healing sores or lesions, especially in sun-exposed areas or the mouth, could mean skin or oral cancer. Notice any odd skin discoloration or rough patches. Early detection is crucial, so don’t delay getting strange sores checked.
Persistent bloating, sudden loss of appetite, or trouble swallowing could signal stomach, esophageal, or ovarian cancer. These symptoms can be from milder things like indigestion, but if they hang around, get medical help. Early intervention matters.
Your nails can tell you about your health. Watch for thickening, odd discoloration, or dark streaks under the nails, which might indicate skin or lung cancer. Most nail changes are harmless, but major or sudden ones need looking into.
