Lung cancer diagnosed without any pain or itching? There are 3 types of marks on the hands in the middle and late stages. I hope you don’t have any of them!

When it comes to lung cancer, most people are afraid of it. Lung cancer is a highly malignant tumor with a high mortality rate.

According to relevant statistics, there were 19.29 million new cancer cases in the world in 2020, of which 4.57 million were in my country, accounting for 23.7% of the world's total. There were 9.96 million cancer deaths in the world in 2020, of which 3 million were in my country, accounting for 30% of the total number of cancer deaths. my country has become the world's number one "lung cancer power".

We cannot miss any "help signal" sent by the body. So we must recognize the help signal as early as possible to avoid further deterioration of the disease! In life, whether it is men or women, once the following 3 abnormalities appear in the body, then you must pay attention, it may be a sign of liver cancer, and you must check it early.

1. Clubbing

Clubbing refers to abnormal proliferation, hypertrophy, and club-like enlargement of the finger tips. This happens because lung cancer causes tissue hypoxia, which causes compensatory thickening of local tissues. Some studies also believe that lung cancer can cause endocrine dysfunction and abnormal hormone secretion, which also leads to clubbing.

(Clubbing)

Therefore, if there is such an abnormality in the fingers, even if there is no cough or other discomfort, you should go to the hospital to check your lungs in time to detect lung cancer in time. Here are two small methods for you to do a preliminary self-examination:

1. Look at the gap on the back of your fingers

Put the corresponding fingers of your two hands together and see if there is a "diamond-shaped window" in the middle.

A normal person will have such a gap, but if it is "clubbed fingers", this gap cannot be seen.

2. Look at the angle between the skin and nails at the extremities

For normal people, the angle between the nail and the extremity is less than 180°.

However, if there is clubbing, the base angle formed by the nail and the limb end is equal to or greater than 180°.

2. Long-term pain in the arm

Most arm pains are caused by muscle strain or arthritis, and will gradually get better after resting for a day or two. However, if you have arm pain for a long time, you must be careful, as it may be a precursor to lung cancer.

Because lung cancer can cause cancer cells to spread and metastasize, once they reach various parts of the body, such as the back, through the blood or lymph, they will invade, multiply, and compress the nerves in that area, causing pain.

3. The thumb rebounds slowly

In traditional Chinese medicine, the thumb corresponds to the lung meridian, so the health of the lungs can be understood by looking at the condition of the thumb.

A normal thumb has a thick base and a slightly thin fingertip, and is ruddy, shiny, and elastic. However, some people's thumbs rebound very slowly and have poor elasticity when pressed. This may be due to insufficient lung qi and the risk of disease.

If you experience any of the above symptoms, please seek medical attention immediately. Do not wait until your body can no longer bear it before you think of seeking medical help.

The so-called good health, good appetite, regular life, and no high-risk factors are not reasons for "I won't get cancer" or excuses for "It's no big deal, no need to go to the hospital." Only by taking care of your own life can you live up to the love of your family.
