Women are usually more observant than men when it comes to their recommended health and medication follow-ups, screenings and tests, according to recent research and expert studies. It is certain that women are more vigilant and willing with respect to their health complications. They also tend to get potentially worried about the symptoms of anything eventful. When it comes to cancer screenings however, there are signs that women may fail to recognize and end up ignoring.
Most young women for example, believe that cancer happens to the old and therefore they cannot determine the signs at the very beginning. They live with the notion that the disease, cancer, is related to age, which is not true. Cancer specialists treat more young women than old, suffering from different types of cancers. Some women are actually skilled to deny their symptoms. There are women who deliberately disregard their symptoms. Talking about all the worrisome symptoms of this complicated disease that remains incurable despite medical advancements, it is best to get diagnosed early and conquer the disease than die.
Here are the 3 possible signs of cancer that women usually ignore.
Unexplained and Rapid Weight Loss Many women are mostly delighted to lose their weight considerably even without making an effort. However, unexplained and rapid weight loss is not a good sign. Women, who have lost over 10 pounds in less than a month without dieting or increasing exercise, should get it checked out without any further delay. Continue
Although unexplained weight loss is not cancer unless proven otherwise, it is definitely one sign that cannot be ignored. Nonetheless, even an overactive thyroid gland can cause rapid weight loss, which is also to be determined. Doctors will run tests for checking the thyroid gland and perform the necessary tests for various organs to diagnose the underlying condition.
Signs of Bloating Bloating is nothing very serious unless it happens to be more frequently than usual. Women tend to ignore the signs of bloating because they are used to living with it. However, it could pinpoint a more serious disease like ovarian cancer. Other signs of ovarian cancer include pelvic pain or ovarian pain, fuller feeling when without eating much food and problems with urination, such as frequent urination or inability to control urine. If bloating has been occurring almost regularly and persists for over a few weeks, it should be reported to a doctor. The doctor will take down the medical history and necessary tests to determine the condition. Continue

Changes in the Skin Skin cancer has become a growing cause of concern in the Western world. People usually tend to ignore the changes in their skin, such as moles or rashes. Moles are one of the well known signs of skin cancer today, though skin pigmentation also should be considered. If a person suddenly develops bleeding on the skin or scaling, it should be checked thoroughly.
It is often very difficult to say how much time it will take to observe the skin changes and diagnose the condition. Although it is not necessary to see a cancer specialist immediately, one should go to a doctor for observation and proper diagnosis.
