Doctors remind: People who are prone to developing cancer usually have these 4 diseases, check yourself quickly

Aunt Lin was walking in the community park as usual, occasionally chatting with her familiar neighbors. However, during this period of time, Aunt Lin always felt that something was wrong with her body, often felt exhausted, and her appetite was not as good as before. She thought it was a natural phenomenon of aging and did not pay much attention to it until one day, when Aunt Lin attended a health lecture organized by the community and heard a senior doctor's explanation of "cancer warning signs", she suddenly realized that some of her symptoms might be related to certain underlying diseases, and these diseases were the "lurkers" of cancer.

1. Gastric ulcer: the “neighbor” of gastric cancer

During the lecture, the doctor first mentioned the common disease of gastric ulcer.

He said:

“Gastric ulcer may seem ordinary, but it should not be ignored.

Long-term gastric ulcers, especially those with Helicobacter pylori infection, may cause dysplasia of the gastric mucosa during repeated inflammation and repair, and then evolve into gastric cancer. "

Aunt Lin's heart tightened when she heard this.

Looking back, I was diagnosed with gastric ulcer a few years ago. Although the condition improved after treatment, I neglected to have a follow-up check recently because of my busy schedule.

She secretly decided that she must see a doctor immediately after returning and recheck the health of her stomach.

Gastric ulcer is an inflammatory defect of the gastric mucosa, which is often manifested by symptoms such as upper abdominal pain and bloating after meals.

If not treated in time or bad lifestyle habits (such as smoking, drinking, irregular diet, etc.) are not controlled, there is indeed a risk of cancer.

Therefore, regular check-ups and standardized treatments are crucial for patients with gastric ulcers.

2. Chronic hepatitis: a hotbed for liver cancer

Then the doctor talked about the relationship between chronic hepatitis and liver cancer.

“Chronic hepatitis, especially hepatitis B and C, is one of the main causes of liver cancer.”

The doctor's words were heavy and powerful.

"Long-term invasion of the liver by the hepatitis virus will cause repeated damage and repair of liver cells, eventually leading to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer."

When Aunt Lin heard this, she couldn't help but think of her old friend Lao Li, who unfortunately died of liver cancer due to long-term hepatitis B.

At that moment, Aunt Lin became more determined to protect her liver and stay away from the threat of cancer.

Chronic hepatitis is a persistent state of liver damage, which can lead to serious changes in liver structure and function if it persists for a long time.

Therefore, for hepatitis patients, regular monitoring of liver function, receiving antiviral treatment, avoiding drinking and overwork, etc. are key measures to prevent liver cancer.

3. Colon polyps: the "prelude" to colon cancer

The doctor then turned the topic to colon polyps.

“Although most colon polyps are benign, some of them have the risk of becoming cancerous.”

The doctor explained,

“Adenomatous polyps in particular have a relatively high rate of canceration.

Therefore, once colon polyps are found, they should be removed promptly and followed up regularly.”

Aunt Lin recalled that when she had a physical examination last year, the doctor had recommended that she undergo a colonoscopy to rule out the possibility of colon polyps, but she had been putting it off until now because she was afraid of the discomfort during the examination.

At this moment, she felt deeply regretful and decided to arrange a colonoscopy as soon as possible to ensure her intestinal health.

Colon polyps are a type of lesion where the surface of the colon mucosa is raised. There are many types of colon polyps with varying risks of canceration.

For polyps that pose a risk of becoming cancerous, early detection and early removal are effective ways to prevent colorectal cancer.

Therefore, it is recommended that people over 40 years old undergo regular colonoscopy to detect and treat potential polyp lesions in a timely manner.

4. Breast hyperplasia - "early warning" of breast cancer

Finally, the doctor mentioned the issue of breast hyperplasia, which is of common concern to female friends.

"Although breast hyperplasia is a benign physiological change in most cases, it should not be taken lightly."

The doctor reminded,

"Especially patients with symptoms such as breast nodules and nipple discharge should be more alert to the risk of breast cancer."

Although Aunt Lin is not a direct patient of breast hyperplasia, her daughter is in puberty and occasionally experiences breast pain.

After listening to the doctor's explanation, Aunt Lin decided to remind her daughter to pay attention to breast health after returning home and to undergo a breast examination if necessary.

Fibrocystic breast disease is a common disease of the female breast, which is mostly related to endocrine disorders.

Although most breast hyperplasia is benign, in a few cases it may develop into breast cancer.

Therefore, for patients with breast hyperplasia, it is crucial to perform regular breast examinations and maintain good living habits and mentality.

[Conclusion: Protect your health, start with self-examination]

After the lecture, Aunt Lin was still in a state of anxiety. She realized that health is not an unattainable ideal state, but a precious treasure that we need to pay attention to and take good care of. Through this lecture, she has a better understanding of the importance of regular physical examinations and self-examinations. She decided that from now on, she should not only pay attention to her own physical condition, but also remind people around her to pay attention to health details, and jointly protect this hard-earned tree of life.
