With most cancers, the earlier a patient is diagnosed, the better the chance of survival. Therefore, men should listen to their bodies and watch for warning signs of cancer.
1. Breasts appear lumpy
According to Aboluowang, breast cancer in men is not as common as it is in women, but it does happen. About one in 100 cases of breast cancer is detected in men. Men who suddenly notice lumps in their breasts should promptly go to the hospital for an endocrine examination to see if it is an abnormal phenomenon due to a disorder of the endocrine system.
When male endocrine disorders, androgen decrease and estrogen increase will stimulate mammary glands, causing mammary gland hyperplasia, mammary gland enlargement. If you touch these lumps with your hands, they can move, sometimes you feel pain or swelling, you need to go to the hospital immediately for treatment.
2. Physical fatigue
Fatigue is one of the most common cancer symptoms. Cancer fatigue is different from common illnesses and fatigue after a long day at work or a sleepless night.
The growth and reproduction of cancer cells easily consume excess energy in the human body, thereby leading to problems such as excessive fatigue, lack of vitality. Fatigue is common with blood-related cancers such as leukemia and is also common with solid tumours.
3. Frequent upset stomach

Colorectal cancer is the leading cause of death in men. While colonoscopy is recommended for people in their 50s, some men may develop the disease at a younger age or may not have undergone screening. Some people have symptoms such as blood in the stool, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, thinner stools, or just a change in bowel habits. Persistent stomach pain or discomfort may also be related to liver and bile duct cancers.
Meanwhile, pancreatic cancer often begins with an abdominal pain, which can come and go. Patients with liver cancer may experience jaundice, yellow discoloration of the skin and whites of the eyes, and intense itching.
4. Coughing up blood, passing out blood
If the cough persists, it is most likely a sign of early stage lung cancer. In addition, leukemia can also cause some of the same symptoms as bronchitis. Therefore, if the cough persists, even coughing up blood, you must be extremely vigilant.
There are many reasons for bloody stools, such as hemorrhoids and cancer. Therefore, when detecting bloody stools, you should go to the hospital to promptly check to rule out the possibility of colon cancer.
5. Persistent headache
Headache is a common clinical symptom. If it’s just an occasional headache, it won’t cause major harm. However, if this goes on for a long time, you must be on high alert.
Persistent or frequent headaches indicate a serious inflammation and are sometimes accompanied by nausea or vomiting. For example, brain cancer can increase intracranial pressure and cause headaches in 80% to 90% of cases. This symptom will gradually worsen, leading to severe pain that is persistent or intermittent.
6. Persistent back pain
This may come as a surprise to you, but persistent back pain can actually be an early sign of cancer. This is because some cancer symptoms may not appear until the cancer has spread to the bones or spine. Prostate cancer is cancer that has spread to the bones, which can cause low back pain, as well as discomfort and bone pain.
Cancer survival rates are improving, and in part because of early detection. Therefore, men who notice these symptoms or have other problems should go to the hospital.
