Cancer Symptoms Men Should Never Ignore by KimmieRollison: 6:03am On Jun 29, 2017
Think again, indigestion, frequent urination & nagging pain in men may not always be minor health issues & can also sometimes be symptoms of cancer which require a visit to the doctor. Many a times cancer symptoms can be vague, especially prostate cancer in men can have some of the least obvious symptoms of the disease. Men therefore should not ignore their health & pay attention to changes within their body & check out any unusual symptoms with the doctor right away. Cancer treatment in early stages of the disease has invariably saved many lives.



Signs & Symptoms of Cancer in Men
Changes in Testicles – Most men notice changes in their size of testicles, like either one or both testicles have got bigger. Sometimes patients may find a lump or testicles may feel extra heavy or swollen. Testicular cancer is one of the most common cancers among young & middle-aged men & should therefore see a doctor when they notice such signs & symptoms.

Changes in Restroom Habits – When men suddenly require using the restroom all the time or are having pain while urinating may at times be a sign of prostate or bladder cancer. Other signs which men should look out for include appearance of blood in urine or stool. Even change in bowel habits like diarrhea or constipation which fails to grow away is a matter of concern as well.

Indigestion or Trouble While Swallowing – Men should not ignore prolonged burning sensation in chest or throat, even in case they suspect is being caused by spicy food. Although, trouble swallowing or regular indigestion are normal problems with aging, they can also be signs of stomach, esophageal or throat cancer in men.

a hoarseness or persistent cough – Nagging cough which lasts more than three weeks of time is a sign indicating that something is wrong. Moreover, chough which refuses to go away, both in smokers & nonsmokers can sometimes be a sign of lung cancer. Men experiencing persistent, wheezing sound, hoarseness, coughing of blood or shortness of breath should call the doctor right away.

Changes in Mouth – Men who indulge in smoking, chewing, dipping or spitting tobacco should pay close attention to any changes inside their mouth. White patches on tongue or inside mouth can be a pre-cancerous growth which when left untreated can turn into oral cancer. Sores, tenderness or numbness in areas of mouth, unexplained bleeding involving lips, cheeks & tongue are required to be checked in time.

Constant Fatigue – It is time to call a doctor when a person is drastically loosing pounds without any change in diet or exercise. Losing ten or more than ten pounds for unknown reasons might be a sign of esophageal, stomach, pancreatic or lung cancer.

Unexplained Weight Loss – Men who feel fatigued when hanging out with guys after work or feel tired to play with kids after coming back home need to find out the reason behind it. Never brush off constant fatigue as it can be a sign of leukemia or stomach or colon cancer as well.

Affordable Cancer Treatments in India
However, having any one or more of these above symptoms does not mean that the person is having cancer, but people need to undergo checkups in case these persist. India is a globally popular medical tourism destination for international patients seeking good quality of medical procedures at reasonable costs in other countries than their homeland. Cancer treatments in India are at par with the best available in the world while costs are in fact just a fraction when compared to the price in other healthcare havens across the world. Therefore, overseas patients will not just get world-class cancer treatments but will also be able to save substantial amounts of their hard-earned money by undergoing cancer treatment in India.
