Unexpected symptoms that indicate blood cancer are listed. These include night sweats, abdominal pain, fatigue, bruising, fever and weight loss. In this respect reports Daily mail.
Leukemia (blood cancer, leukemia) is a disease in which a large number of abnormal leukocytes (white blood cells) enter the blood. These types of white blood cells cannot protect the body from infections. They gradually replace healthy blood cells and accumulate in various tissues and organs, disrupting their functions.
The first warning sign is fatigue, which may indicate anemia. Anemia is not an independent disease; It is a symptom characteristic of a wide variety of diseases, including cancer. You can try to self-diagnose anemia by pulling back the lower eyelid. In anemia, the mucous membrane will appear pale pink rather than dark pink or red.
Unexplained bruising and redness on the skin may also be symptoms of leukemia. An increase in temperature that is not caused by an infection should also be alarming. Fever may occur at night and cause sweating.
Abdominal pain and bloating can also be symptoms of leukemia. It is usually caused by abnormal accumulation of blood cells in the spleen.
Another red flag is weight loss without changes in diet and physical activity levels. This condition is called cachexia; the body does not absorb all the fats, proteins and carbohydrates in food and burns calories faster than usual.
If any of these symptoms occur, it is recommended to consult a doctor as soon as possible and have the necessary blood tests done.
