Nagging pains, headaches may result in cancer – Doctor

Dr. Nya Marshall, a medical doctor with China Natural Medical Centre, on Monday warned that nagging pains, headaches and backaches may result in cancer.
Marshall, who advised Nigerians to always go for medical check up, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Kaduna that such habit would help to detect any form of cancer at its early stage.
He said: “Pains, constant headache and back ache can be a sign of ovarian cancer, while fever, fatigue, lumps in the body, unusual bleeding and nagging cough are signs of prostrate cancer.”
He also said that persistent sores that refused to heal and observed changes in the bladder functions may be signs of prostrate cancer.
Marshall advised the people to always consult a medical doctor whenever there was such occurrences and to also go on daily exercise.
To avoid the disorder, the medical practitioner advised Nigerians to consume lots of vegetables, including cauliflower and broccoli, which helped to contain prostate cancer.
He added that pomegranates juice, turmeric and flax seeds also slow down its spread.
Also, Patience Adamu, a nutritionist, advised people to take garlic, saying it reduces the risk of prostrate cancer by 58 per cent.
Adamu also suggested the regular intake of tomatoes, nuts and green tea due to their antioxidants.
