Three main symptoms: pay attention before it’s too late!

In many families, the mother plays the role of an honorary doctor who closely monitors the health of all family members. But sometimes even the most attentive ones can miss something, especially if it concerns themselves. In this article, we will look at three main symptoms that may indicate serious health problems. If you notice any of these symptoms in yourself, your partner, or your children, don't wait to see your doctor.

1. Extreme fatigue

Overtiredness is the status quo for busy parents, but if fatigue persists even after a full night's sleep and isn't associated with lifestyle changes, it could be a sign of underlying health problems. Fatigue can be caused by anemia or even cancer. Get tested and visit your doctor if fatigue persists.

2. Painful sex

If sex hurts, be sure to tell your doctor. Painful sex may be a sign of infection, fibroids in the uterus, or endometriosis. Endometriosis is a disease in which the lining of the uterus enlarges outside the pelvic organ and often causes heavy, painful periods. Treatment is very important because endometriosis can lead to infertility.

3. Very strong thirst

Excessive thirst and frequent urination (possibly combined with unexplained weight loss) are warning signs of type 2 diabetes in adults and juvenile diabetes in children, which often occurs during puberty. Diabetes in adults and children is a serious disease that increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, blindness and even some types of cancer. Therefore, if you have these symptoms, consult your doctor.

In conclusion, take care of your health and the health of your loved ones. If you notice one of the listed symptoms, do not delay contacting a doctor. The sooner you seek help, the greater the chance of successful treatment. Remember that health is the most valuable thing we have!
