Women should see a doctor when they have the following symptoms:
Sudden unexplained weight loss or any unusual changes in your breasts are also signs that you should see a doctor.
Common diseases in women often appear "silently", their symptoms are often difficult to distinguish from the phenomenon of pain before a menstrual period. The advice is that you should see a doctor as soon as you notice signs that worry you. Because 90% of people diagnosed with breast cancer can be cured in the early stages.
According toBright Side, below are some symptoms related to dangerous diseases that women should not ignore.
1. Frequent urination
This could be a warning sign of an abnormality in the kidneys or urinary tract. It could also be the result of a hormonal imbalance or a vaginal infection. If you urinate more than usual and feel thirsty, it could be a sign of diabetes.
With a standard amount of water to drink each day (about 2 liters), you will urinate from 4 to 10 times. When the number of "visits to the toilet" is more than that, you should see a doctor.
2. Weight loss without cause
Sudden weight loss in a short period of time can be a sign of something serious. Sometimes it can be a symptom of Crohn's disease, type 2 diabetes, or cancer. In any case, it means something is wrong with your body.
If you suddenly lose 5-6 kg in 6-12 months without doing any sports or changing your diet or beauty regimen... you should see a doctor.
3. Hair grows in unwanted places
This means that there are too many male hormones in the body. This change can lead to more serious consequences such as metabolic disorders, infertility or even increased risk of breast cancer and endometrial diseases.
4. Bleeding after menopause
This symptom can be a sign of cervical cancer, cervicitis, uterine fibroids, and several other conditions. You should pay special attention if the bleeding occurs more than a year after your last period.
5. Any changes in the breasts
The first signs of breast cancer can be difficult to recognize. When you feel pain in the chest and lymph nodes appear, it may be too late. Therefore, you need to pay attention and check your breasts regularly - this can help you detect cancer at an early stage. Common abnormal signs include: red, wrinkled skin on the chest, the appearance of lumps... You need to distinguish the phenomenon of intermittent breast pain (especially before menstruation) as normal.
6. Heavy menstruation
The causes of this problem can be simple (genetics, changes in living environment or over-exercising) to more serious (uterine fibroids, endometrial thyroid disorders). Even if you believe it is genetic, you should still see a doctor because heavy periods can lead to anemia.
When the duration of a period lasts more than 7 days or the blood is bright red, it is a dangerous sign. A normal menstrual cycle is from 21 to 35 days and it is more important to be stable. In addition, to monitor gynecological health, you should see a doctor 1-2 times a year.
