If you notice a lump or any heaviness in your testicles, you should consider seeing a doctor. Testicular cancer often starts with changes in the testicles.

4. Trouble swallowing

Some people have trouble swallowing from time to time. This could be accompanied by vomiting and also losing weight. You should see a doctor to check you for throat or stomach cancer.

"No pain, no gain" doesn't apply to cancer. Back pain, a headache that doesn't go away, abdominal or stomach pain could all tell that something is wrong so book an appointment with your doctor.
