Due to uncontrolled lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits, the risk of contracting this disease is increasing day by day. What are some reasons to be wary of getting cancer?
Oral cancer
The habit of eating common Gutkha, Khaini, Panmasala can lead to the risk of this deadly disease. Many people can't get out of this habit even knowingly. Moreover, due to alcohol consumption and human papilloma virus (HPV) infection, this disease takes root in the body. White or red spots inside the mouth, any painless swelling inside the mouth, difficulty in moving the tongue and speaking for a long time are the symptoms of oral cancer.
breast cancer
The incidence of breast cancer among women over 30 has become quite alarming in recent times. In breast cancer, the key to diagnosis lies with the patient. If you notice any physical changes, you should go to the doctor immediately. You should be aware of this disease from the beginning. Symptoms of this cancer include lumps in the breast, rash and itching around the nipples, pain in the neck and shoulders along with the breast, and changes in the size of the breast.
Cervical cancer
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women. An average of more than one lakh women are affected by this cancer every year in India. In the attack of HPV, this deadly disease nests in the body. However, apart from this virus entering the body, another main cause of cervical cancer is unprotected sex. Abnormal bleeding outside the specific period of the menstrual cycle, bleeding with severe pain during intercourse, lower abdomen, long-term pain in the waist are the primary symptoms of this cancer.
Testicular cancer
An increase in this cancer in men is common after the age of 30. Be alert if you notice a sudden change in the size of the testicle or an unwanted tumor or swelling. Although doctors say, testicular cancer can occur at any age. So it is important to be careful.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
