2. Can these symptoms always mean cancer?
No, most are caused by non-cancerous issues like infections or hormones. But persistent ones (over 2-3 weeks) deserve professional evaluation to rule out serious causes.
3. What if I have no family history—do I still need to worry?
Yes. Many cancers occur without family links. Lifestyle, age, and random factors play roles. Regular checks and symptom awareness benefit everyone.
