Cancer. Not the fun kind you get at the beach (although sunburns are no joke, so slap on that SPF!).
This is the big C, and while it's scary, knowledge is power, especially when it comes to catching it early.
That's why we're breaking down the warning signs you shouldn't ignore.
Remember, early detection is key!
But first, a heads-up:
These signs might not always mean cancer, but if you experience any of them for a while and they just won't quit, get yourself checked by a doctor, okay?
No shame in being safe!
Now, onto the nitty-gritty:
Coughing like crazy for weeks?
Chest pain, breathlessness, or voice suddenly gone hoarse?
Don't just brush it off. It could be lung cancer. Get it checked, dude.
Toilet habits gone rogue?
Weird changes in your poop color, consistency, or size for more than 3 weeks?
Feeling like you gotta go again even after, well, going?
Colorectal cancer might be the culprit.
Don't wait, see a doc!
Bleeding where you shouldn't be? 🩸
Blood in your pee (kidney cancer), stool (colorectal cancer), lady parts (cervical cancer), or even an abnormal nosebleed (nasopharyngeal cancer) are all red flags.
See a doctor, pronto!
Lumps that just won't budge?
Find a lump in your breast, scrotum, neck, or anywhere else?
Don't panic, but do get it checked.
It could be breast cancer, testicular cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, or something else entirely.
Better safe than sorry!
Got a stubborn sore or a mole acting shady?
Changes in a mole's shape, color, size, or if it starts itching, bleeding, or crusting, get it checked for skin cancer.
And if a sore just won't heal or gets painful, don't wait around – see a doctor!
Swallowing becoming a struggle? Feeling full after barely eating?
Difficulty swallowing, constant fullness, or tummy pain for weeks could be stomach cancer.
Don't ignore it – get it checked!
Skin itchy and turning yellow? 🟡
Itchy skin or yellowing skin and eyes might be signs of liver cancer.
Don't delay, see a doctor!
Weight dropping like crazy and bruising easily?
Unexplained weight loss and easy bruising could be blood cancers like leukemia or lymphoma.
Get it checked out, fam!
Remember, this ain't an exhaustive list.
Every cancer is different, so check out the specific cancer articles linked above for more details.
But hey, now you're armed with the knowledge to spot those early warning signs.
Stay vigilant, Malaysia and Asean, and if something feels off, don't hesitate to see a doctor.
Your health is your greatest wealth! 🇲🇾
