What is important and imperative is recognising the symptoms and consulting a gynaecologist for the same. This can help early detection and treatment. The following are the symptoms you should not be ignoring.
Abnormal vaginal bleeding : Although it can have many causes like hormonal imbalance, medications, fibroid in uterus, but if abnormal bleeding occurs regularly you should take medical advice.
Unintentional weight loss : If you are losing weight without any reason i. e. modification in diet or exercise, there is a reason to worry. Weight loss may be related to thyroid, but it can also related to stomach or pancreatic cancer.
Changes in Lymph nodes : These are present in the neck, chest, pelvic and abdomen region. They get enlarged because of infection in the body, but blood cancer cannot be ruled out either. Keep a watch, and if you find anything unusual, consult your doctor.
