A vigilant member of our health-conscious community recently raised a pertinent question: "What health symptoms should we never ignore?"
Maintaining a healthy weight is often associated with good overall health. However, losing weight without trying can be an early warning sign of an underlying health condition ranging from mild to severe.
Someone wrote, “Went in with appendicitis, came out with appendix cancer. I never knew that was a thing!
Most of the time, any vaginal bleeding that occurs after menopause is considered abnormal and should never be ignored. A user shared, “This is often the first symptom of endometrial cancer, so get an endometrial biopsy ASAP.”
“Sigh! Anxiety can also be the culprit. But if you don't have anxiety problems, do not ignore it.” Said another user.
A user shared, “Just night sweats? Probably nothing. But in conjunction with unexplained weight loss, persistent fatigue, fevers, etc., it is part of a constellation of symptoms commonly referred to as “B symptoms,” which may be a sign of lymphoma.”
Here's a comprehensive compilation of signs and symptoms that should prompt immediate consultation with a healthcare professional.
