- Extreme weight loss
While most women would love to lose weight without trying, if you haven’t altered your diet or changed your exercise routine and have lost somewhere in the neighborhood of ten pounds in a month, you need to find out why.
Unexplained weight loss is an early sign of colon and other digestive cancers. It can also be a sign of cancer that has spread to the liver which affects the appetite and the ability of the body to rid itself of wastes.
Of course, it doesn’t necessarily mean it is cancer, as this could also be a sign of an overactive thyroid. It’s important for your doctor to rule out all of the possibilities to discover the root cause.
