Diseases With No Early Symptoms: Often people believe that the body itself gives signals of every problem, but the truth is that many serious diseases keep increasing gradually without any obvious symptoms. These are called ‘silent killers’. They silently cause damage to vital organs like heart, liver, kidney and pancreas. By the time these symptoms appear, many times major damage has been done to the body. Therefore, it is very important to be aware of these diseases and understand their risk factors. Regular health checkups, right lifestyle and timely checkups are the most effective way to protect against these hidden dangers. Let us tell you about 5 diseases.

WHO warning

WHO says non-communicable diseases are the biggest hidden killers in the world today, responsible for about three-quarters of deaths every year. These diseases include heart disease, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes, which gradually increase over months or years and suddenly become serious. In this

fatty liver disease

When excessive fat starts accumulating in the liver, no specific symptoms are visible in the beginning. This is the reason why many people do not take it seriously. If not taken care of in time, it can cause swelling, scarring and later even liver failure.

how to avoid
It is very important to have a balanced diet, regular exercise, weight control and getting liver tests done from time to time.

heart disease

Heart disease is the biggest cause of death in the world. Many times no symptoms are seen in the initial stages. For example, in coronary artery disease, the veins gradually become narrow, but no pain or discomfort is felt and a sudden heart attack can occur. Silent heart attack is also very dangerous, because it does not cause severe pain in the chest, but minor things like fatigue, mild pain or shortness of breath are seen, which people ignore.

how to avoid

Heart-healthy diet, exercise, reducing stress and regular heart checkups are most important.

hypertension

Hypertension is called the ‘silent killer’ because it often increases without any signs. This gradually damages the blood vessels and can lead to heart attack, stroke and kidney failure.

how to avoid

Checking blood pressure daily, reducing salt, staying active, staying away from alcohol and tobacco and controlling stress.

hiv and aids

HIV infection does not show any specific symptoms initially. Many times, common symptoms like mild fever or sore throat are seen, which people ignore considering them to be normal viral. But the virus gradually keeps weakening the immune system.

how to avoid

Practice safe physical relations, get regular HIV tests done and start ART treatment on time if positive. This keeps the virus under control and can prevent the formation of AIDS.

Type-2 diabetes

In this disease the body does not respond properly to insulin or is not able to produce enough insulin. Initially it does not show any distinct symptoms, but gradually it starts damaging the heart, kidneys, eyes and nerves.

how to avoid

This disease can be caught in its early stages by a balanced diet, regular exercise, weight control and periodic blood sugar testing.
