A sudden shift in the frequency, color, or smell of urine may be a sign of bladder cancer. Changes in urine individuals need to watch out for include frequent urination, blood in the urine, slow flow, and a change in bladder function. They even need to be aware if they pass small amounts of urine with an increased amount of pressure. These changes might be the result of a urinary infection or an enlarged prostate gland. However, as mentioned, bladder cancer is also a possibility. Thus, a doctor should check patients experiencing these symptoms to rule out cancer or catch it early.

Changes In Warts And Moles

Many individuals are born with a mole or two. In addition, warts can turn out to be just a temporary infection from the human papillomavirus family. However, if there are unusual or frequent changes in any skin growth, particularly warts or moles, it might be a sign of skin cancer. This includes the sudden appearance of a mole or wart. Changes to be watchful of include bleeding and irregular edges. Larger moles should always be checked by a doctor, as they are at a higher risk of becoming cancer than smaller moles. Removing a mole, thankfully, is straightforward. It may prevent the likelihood of the growth developing into cancer and spreading to other body parts.
