2. Changes In The Nails

A small brown verticle stripe on one of your fingernails or toenails could be a sign of melanoma. It’s a myth that skin cancer only occurs in exposed areas, so don’t neglect to check your fingernails for skin underneath that may appear out of the ordinary.

3. Bloating

Everyone experiences bloating from time to time. It could simply mean you’ve got to cut back on the burritos and fizzy soda, but if you’re also experiencing weight loss or bleeding, then it’s time to check something more serious isn’t going on.

Constant or frequent bloating can be a sign of colon cancer, ovarian cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, or even pancreatic cancer.

4. Bleeding Between Periods

If you’re spotting between your periods, there are multiple reasons this could be happening. However, it’s best to tell your doctor as he will want to rule out the possibility of endometrial cancer.

What if you’re seeing blood somewhere else…?
