These symptoms are not always due to cancer. They can also be caused by infections, acid reflux, or vocal strain. However, if the issue becomes an ongoing one, please consult a doctor.
8. Unusual Bleeding or Discharge

If you notice bleeding or discharge that looks weird and doesn’t have an apparent cause, don’t simply brush it off, because it might, on occasion, be a symptom of a medical condition such as cancer.
For instance, if you notice blood in your stool, or black, tar-like bowel movements, it could be a sign of colon or rectal cancer, as explained before. Blood in the urine may indicate problems with your kidneys or bladder, while vaginal bleeding that isn’t part of your normal menstrual cycle, particularly if it occurs after intercourse or in post-menopausal women, may be a sign of cervical or uterine cancer.
Discharge that smells strange, is bloody, or looks different than normal, both at males and females, should be checked out.
