What symptom expression does nasopharyngeal carcinoma have

summary

When Lao Li recently went to the hospital for examination, he found that he had nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which made his heart cool, cancer! I actually suffered from cancer, this disease actually came so suddenly, when I didn't check, I never thought it would be cancer. Now let me tell you the symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

What symptom expression does nasopharyngeal carcinoma have

First: headache is the most common symptom of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Clinically, most of the patients presented with unilateral persistent pain, mostly in the temporal and parietal regions. The early symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma are not obvious, and the symptoms of nasal discharge or blood silk in sputum appear; the late nasopharyngeal carcinoma can stimulate the skull base, cause severe headache, and also cause deafness and strabismus. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is very easy to produce cervical lymph node metastasis, and it should be treated in time when the tumor appears in the neck.

Second: nasopharyngeal carcinoma in head and neck malignant tumors, the incidence rate is consistently the first place, and early misdiagnosis is easy. Because the location of the nasopharynx is hidden, the lack of specific symptoms in the early stage, and the abundant lymphatic vessels in the nasopharynx provide favorable conditions for cancer cell metastasis. But it is not to say that all the cases of "aspirated nasal discharge with blood" are nasopharyngeal carcinoma. In a hospital, the director of Otolaryngology Head and neck surgery pointed out that the difference between canceration and "aspirated nasal discharge with blood" is actually very simple: the bleeding time caused by drying of nasal cavity or nasopharynx is not long, and the bleeding of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is repeated and continuous.

Third: there is another neglected symptom of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which is migraine. The doctor reminded that if the above symptoms are accompanied by headache, then the cancer cells may have metastasized to the brain. The headache in the early stage is usually intermittent, and the persistent severe headache in the late stage. At this time, patients can not only go to the Department of neurology to "headache doctor", had better do skull base photos or CT scan.

matters needing attention

Therefore, we must pay attention to it at ordinary times. Once we find the symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, we should go to the hospital in time. Once it is confirmed that it is nasopharyngeal carcinoma, we should cooperate with the doctor to treat it well. We should find it early and treat it early. We must not delay the disease. Once it is delayed, it may aggravate.
