If you’re experiencing any of these common symptoms more often than not, see your doctor immediately. You know your body best, so if something doesn’t seem right, get it checked out.
Abnormal vaginal bleeding and foul discharge
Uncharacteristic discharge in women of any age; though it could signal an easily treatable infection, copious amounts of discharge (or very foul-smelling discharge) could be associated with cervical cancer or fallopian tube cancer.
Abrupt weight loss
While shedding of a few kgs can be considered good and healthy for you, an abrupt weight loss should be cause for worry. Abrupt weight loss could be associated with colon cancer so you need to pay attention to that.
For those under 50, hormonal abnormalities like hyperthyroidism or diabetes could be to blame for dropping pounds unexpectedly.
