Listen To Your Body: The Importance of Recognizing Warning Signs In Women's Health

Breast pain could be a sign of cancer, and some women don't realize they're pregnant until experiencing severe pain. Ectopic pregnancy is a common issue in the emergency department. If you experience abnormal pain or bleeding, don't hesitate to go to the ER.

"I have seen like many emergency departments, where a woman comes complaining of breast pain, and it turned out to be cancer because it was that cancer that had gone up to the breast. There were cases that they did not realize, but there was hardening, and it turned out to be a lump which was cancer growing from the breast, it was breast cancer. And then many of times some women, surprisingly, don't realize that they are pregnant. Very often in the emergency department, what I see is ectopic pregnancy, which means a pregnancy that is out of the uterus and they come with severe pain and most of the time they end up in O.T. to sort it out so if you have any pain that is out of normal, and you have more bleeding you should not stay back and come and see me in the emergency department." – Dr. Abdullah Siddique

 

When it comes to women's health, it's always better to be safe than sorry. Many women tend to ignore the warning signs, hoping that the pain or discomfort will go away on its own. However, many cases have been witnessed by our medical professionals where women have ignored the signs of breast cancer and ectopic pregnancy, which can have severe consequences on their health.

In some cases, the cancer had already spread to the breast, and in others, there was a lump that had hardened and was growing from the breast. Breast cancer is a severe disease that can be cured if detected early. Therefore, it's essential to keep an eye on any changes in your breast tissue, such as lumps or hardening, and to seek medical attention if you experience any pain or discomfort.

 

Similarly, ectopic pregnancy is another condition that many women tend to ignore or overlook until it's too late. Ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants itself outside of the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube. This condition can cause severe pain and bleeding and can be life-threatening if left untreated. Therefore, if you experience severe pain that is out of the ordinary and accompanied by bleeding, our doctors at Pistil recommends that it is best to seek immediate medical attention.

 

It cannot be stressed enough how important it is to pay attention to your body and seek medical attention if you experience any pain or discomfort. Early detection is the key to successful treatment, and ignoring the signs can have severe consequences on your health. Remember, it's always better to be safe than sorry.
