What does nasopharyngeal carcinoma look like

Symptom 1: early bleeding can have bleeding symptoms, manifested as blood in sputum after nasal suction or blood in nose when blowing nose. In the early stage, there was only a small amount of blood in sputum or mucus. Late bleeding is more, there may be nosebleed.

Symptom 2: tinnitus, hearing loss, sense of occlusion in ear. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma occurs in the lateral wall of nasopharynx, lateral fossa or upper lip of eustachian tube opening. When the tumor compresses eustachian tube, unilateral tinnitus or hearing loss may occur, and catarrhal otitis media may also occur. Unilateral tinnitus or hearing loss, sense of occlusion in the ear is one of the symptoms of early nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Symptom 3: headache was the common symptom, accounting for 68.6%. It can be the first symptom or the only symptom. In the early stage, the position of headache was not fixed and intermittent. The late stage was persistent migraine with fixed location. The reason is that early patients may be caused by neurovascular reflex.

In daily life, bad living habits should be corrected in time, and some physical exercises can be carried out appropriately.
