Recognizing the early warning signs of lymphoma

However, early detection along with timely treatment methods will help increase the chances and minimize complications for the patient˳

Swollen lymph nodes

The first sign of lymphoma is swollen lymph nodes˳ Swollen lymph nodes often appear in the neck, armpits, legs, and other areas of the body˳

If you find that your lymph nodes are swollen for no apparent reason or the swelling doesn’t go away after a few days, go to the hospital for an examination and diagnosis right away˳

High fever

If you have a persistently high fever for no apparent reason, go to the hospital for a checkup˳

Fever has many causes, can be due to inflammation, changes in weather, but can also be a sign of lymphoma, because the disease causes discomfort and affects the body’s immune system˳

Bone pain

Bone pain is one of the main signs of lymphoma˳ You may feel pain in your joints or body aches˳ Bone pain is more serious if not detected and treated promptly˳

Poor appetite, fatigue, weakness

Fatigue and weakness are common signs of many conditions, including lymphoma˳ Cancer patients often have difficulty digesting and absorbing nutrients from food, leading to nutritional and energy deficiencies˳ This can lead to fatigue and weakness˳

Easy bruising and easy bleeding

As lymphoma cells begin to grow, they can enter blood vessels and cause disruption in blood clotting˳ As a result, people with lymphoma may bruise or bleed easily, even with minor injuries˳

Other symptoms of lymphoma may also include nosebleeds, heavy menstrual bleeding, or a rash of small blood spots under the skin˳ If you see these symptoms appear, see your doctor right away for a timely diagnosis and treatment˳

Decreased immunity

Weakened immunity can be a sign of lymphoma, because the disease affects the body’s immunity˳ If you find yourself prone to infections or often get sick, it’s a good idea to see your doctor for a diagnosis˳

Sudden weight loss

Weight loss can be a symptom of lymphoma because cancer cells grow much faster than healthy cells and use up more energy˳ Also, your body needs energy to get rid of cancer cells˳

However, weight loss can also be due to many other causes, such as stress, depression, digestive problems, and an overactive thyroid˳

Cough, chest tightness, difficulty breathing

Tumors that cause lymphoma can start in the thymus, part of the body’s immune system, and other lymph nodes in the chest˳ If these lymph nodes swell, they can put pressure on the windpipe, causing symptoms such as cough, chest pain, or tightness in the chest˳

Common symptoms of swollen lymph nodes in the chest include: dry cough, shortness of breath, shortness of breath, pain behind the breastbone…

Dry skin causes itching

Dry skin and allergies often cause itching and are nothing to be alarmed about˳ However, if you start to feel unusual itching, especially in your hands, feet, or legs, it could be related to lymphoma˳

Persistent itching is caused by the release of substances called cytokines by the immune system, which can irritate nerve endings in the skin, experts say˳

Some people with lymphoma also develop a rash˳
