Cancer, just seeing these two words makes people feel uncomfortable. If a male friend gets cancer due to some unhealthy lifestyle habits, it's really more than worth the loss! Today, let me remind you that men should start by paying attention to five points in cancer prevention!
Five Key Points for Men to Know in Health and Cancer Prevention
lose weight
You haven't been on a diet or exercising to lose weight, but your weight has significantly decreased. If there is a reduction of more than 10% in the short term (such as a few weeks), medical attention should be sought.
fever
If there is a fever and the cause is unknown, it may be a tumor. Of course, most fevers are caused by infections or pneumonia, and doctors should also be consulted for diagnosis and treatment. Some cancers can cause fever at a certain stage, such as cancer spread, metastasis, or due to blood cancer, such as lymphoma or leukemia. So unexplained fever must be sought from a doctor.
tired
Fatigue is also a very common symptom. Everyone will feel weak after working or engaging in activities for a long time. If extreme fatigue is often felt and does not disappear after rest, a doctor should be consulted as it may be related to cancer. For example, leukemia, certain colon cancer, stomach cancer, etc.
pain
Although the vast majority of pain is not cancer, local persistent pain should be sought medical attention. Even if the doctor's diagnosis is not cancer, it is worth treating other diseases.
Lymph node changes
If a lump or lymph node enlargement is found in the armpit, neck, or other areas, medical attention should be sought. Especially after a month of continuous enlargement of lymph nodes, it is necessary to seek medical examination.
