Early symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

summary

I found out that I have nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Fortunately, I went to the hospital in time to have surgery for treatment. Now my condition has been controlled to a certain extent. For patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, we must find and treat it early. Now I will tell you about the early symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Early symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Symptom 1: blood in nose is the early symptom of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which is characterized by blood in nose, or blood in nose sucked back from mouth, also known as blood in sputum. Epistaxis often occurs after getting up in the morning. When the amount of blood is not much, it is often neglected by patients.

Symptom 2: nasal obstruction is another early manifestation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Most of them showed unilateral nasal obstruction. When the nasopharyngeal tumor is enlarged, bilateral nasal obstruction may occur. Tinnitus, hearing loss: tinnitus, ear stuffiness and hearing loss are also early signs of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Symptom 3: about 70% of NPC patients have headache at the time of initial diagnosis. The headache symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma are often manifested as migraine, cranioparietal occipital pain or neck pain. The headache of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is mostly related to the invasion of skull base bone, nerves and blood vessels by cancer tissue.

matters needing attention

For the patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, we should have a positive and optimistic attitude to treat, because the new organisms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma block the pharyngeal tympanic orifice. Hearing loss may also be caused by the deterioration of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and the damage of auditory nerve. Tinnitus and hearing loss are often misdiagnosed as otitis media or other diseases, resulting in delayed treatment.
