Look Up a Symptom लक्षण देखें — किस लक्षण का क्या मतलब हो सकता है, और कितनी जल्दी दिखाना चाहिए

बार-बार होने वाली खून की कमी

Unexplained or recurring anaemia in an adult deserves a proper work-up — it can be the first sign of a gastrointestinal or blood cancer. Get a complete blood count and see a physician with the reports.

हफ़्तों से भूख न लगना

A few days of poor appetite is common. When it stretches past 2–3 weeks with weight loss or tiredness, it needs an examination and basic blood work.

मल में खून

Never assume piles, especially past age 40. Bleeding with a change in bowel habit, weight loss or anaemia needs an oncologist or gastro evaluation this month, not next year.

पेशाब में खून

Painless blood in urine — even once — warrants an ultrasound and urine tests promptly. It can signal bladder or kidney disease including cancer.

खाँसी में खून

Coughing up blood needs a chest X-ray and a doctor within days — sooner if you smoke or chew tobacco.

रात में हड्डी का दर्द

Deep bone pain that wakes you at night, or a limb swelling in a child or young adult, needs an X-ray and prompt review.

स्तन में गाँठ

Most breast lumps are not cancer — but only an examination and tests can say so. Any new lump, in any age, should be examined within 1–2 weeks. Do not wait for pain; cancers are usually painless.

स्तन की त्वचा/निप्पल में बदलाव

Dimpling like an orange peel, a newly pulled-in nipple, or blood-stained discharge — each needs a clinical breast examination soon.

3 हफ़्ते से ज़्यादा खाँसी

A cough that outlives three weeks — particularly in a smoker — needs a chest X-ray. Most turn out benign; the X-ray is how we make sure.

निगलने में कठिनाई

Food sticking on the way down, or needing water with every bite, is never normal. It needs an endoscopy referral promptly — oesophageal problems are treated far better when found early.

बार-बार बुखार

Recurrent fever without a clear infection, especially with night sweats or weight loss, needs blood counts and a physician review.

उल्टी के साथ नए तरह का सिरदर्द

A new kind of headache — worst in the morning, with vomiting or blurred vision — needs urgent medical attention and imaging.

3 हफ़्ते से बैठी आवाज़

A hoarse voice that does not recover in three weeks — especially in tobacco users — needs a throat examination. Early voice-box cancers are highly curable, often with radiotherapy alone.

लगातार अपच या पेट भरा लगना

Persistent upper-abdominal discomfort, early fullness after small meals, or new indigestion after 45 deserves an examination and possibly an endoscopy — do not live on antacids for months.

बिना दर्द का पीलिया

Painless, progressive jaundice needs urgent evaluation — an ultrasound and liver tests within days.

गर्दन में गाँठ

A neck node that persists beyond 2–3 weeks, keeps growing, or feels hard needs an FNAC — a ten-minute needle test available in our OPD, reported in 24–48 hours.

बगल में गाँठ

Armpit lumps can be reactive nodes — or the first sign of a breast problem. Persistent ones deserve an examination and an FNAC if needed.

बदलता हुआ तिल

A mole that grows, darkens unevenly, bleeds or itches should be shown to a doctor. Photograph it monthly to track change.

3 हफ़्ते से मुँह का छाला

An ulcer that refuses to heal in three weeks — especially with tobacco or gutkha use — is the single most important early sign of oral cancer in our region. Come in this week; the examination takes minutes.

रात में बहुत पसीना

Repeatedly waking with soaked clothes, with fever or weight loss, needs blood counts and a physician review — it can be a sign of lymphoma, which responds well to treatment.

रजोनिवृत्ति के बाद रक्तस्राव

Any bleeding after menopause is abnormal until proved otherwise. See a gynaecologist within days — early uterine cancer found this way is very curable.

मुँह में लाल/सफ़ेद दाग

Flat red or white patches inside the cheek or on the tongue are pre-cancerous changes, most common in tobacco chewers. Caught now, they may need only minor treatment and quitting tobacco.

पेट का फूलना

A belly that keeps enlarging without weight gain elsewhere — with or without pain — needs an ultrasound soon, particularly in women, where ovarian disease is a silent cause.

अंडकोष में गाँठ या भारीपन

A painless testicular lump in a young man is urgent — testicular cancer is among the most curable cancers when treated promptly. An ultrasound settles it quickly.

न जाने वाली थकान

Fatigue has a hundred causes, most of them benign. When it persists beyond a month despite rest, start with a blood count, sugar and thyroid test — then see a physician with the reports.

बिना कारण वज़न घटना

Losing more than 4–5 kg in a few months without dieting deserves a proper work-up: examination, blood tests, and imaging if indicated.

माहवारी के बीच रक्तस्राव

Irregular bleeding, bleeding after intercourse, or foul discharge needs a gynaecological examination and a cervical screening test — cervical cancer gives these warnings early, when cure rates are highest.

न भरने वाला घाव

A skin wound or sore that has not healed in 4–6 weeks despite dressing needs a biopsy — chronic non-healing ulcers can turn cancerous.
