A loss of around 10 pounds (about 4.5 kg) is a level to consult a doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2) Tiredness<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ordinary tiredness settles after sleep. Deep exhaustion that continues for weeks, gets worse, or comes with weight loss or pain needs a proper look, as the HCG guide points out.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3) A New Lump or Thickening<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lump in the breast, armpit, or a patch that feels thicker should be checked immediately. In our experience, many people tell us they noticed a change weeks earlier but waited because it did not hurt.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4) Sores, Ulcers and Changes in Moles<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A mouth or skin inflammation that has not healed, or a mole that changes in size, shape, colour or border, or begins to bleed, must be checked. This matters even more if you use tobacco in any form.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5) Unusual Bleeding or Discharge<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blood in urine or stool, coughing up blood, bleeding between periods or after menopause, and nipple discharge all need a doctor\u2019s attention. HCG\u2019s guide advises not delaying for blood in the urine, even if it happens once.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6) A Cough or Rough Voice<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A cough or hoarseness lasting more than two to three weeks, particularly in smokers or people with a family history of lung cancer, is worth a chest check.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>7) Trouble Swallowing or Lasting Indigestion<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Food that sticks, pain on swallowing, or indigestion that does not settle with the usual remedies should not be treated as simple acidity for months.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Changes in Bowel or Bladder Habits<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Constipation or loose motions that continue for weeks, a change in stool, or new urinary urgency that is not explained by an infection should be reported.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>8) Pain With No Clear Cause<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pain that worsens or lasts for weeks without an injury or clear cause needs to be evaluated.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Signs_of_Cancer_in_Women\"><\/span><b>Signs of Cancer in Women<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Indian women at about 28.8% of cases, followed by cervical (10.6%) and ovarian (6.2%), <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/northcitydiagnostic.com\/growing-cancer-burden-of-india-in-2025\/\">according to the same NCRP data<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>signs of cancer in women<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to watch for are a breast lump, skin dimpling or nipple change; bleeding between periods, after sex or after menopause; unusual vaginal discharge; and constant bloating or pelvic pain.
