Symptoms of pain in nasopharyngeal carcinoma

summary

My friend always has a runny nose recently. This runny nose is not clear water like a cold. It is sticky and sometimes bloody. So he went to the hospital for examination. He was found to have nasopharyngeal carcinoma. He was very desperate, but he wanted to know what type of disease he had. Today, let me share with you the pain symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Symptoms of pain in nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Symptom 1: in the early stage of the nose, there may be blood in the runny nose, sometimes without it. The increase of fluid may block the posterior nostril and cause nasal congestion, which starts from unilateral and then turns to bilateral. Tinnitus, ear occlusion, hearing loss, headache, diplopia or swelling of lymph nodes in the upper and deep neck may also appear. The color is silver or white scales. Gently scrape off the surface scales, gradually exposing a layer of light red shiny translucent film, called film phenomenon.

Symptom 2: if the lesion is located in the posterior wall of the top of the nasopharynx, when the secretion of the nasal cavity or part of the nasopharynx is sucked back with force, the light one may cause blood in the nose (that is, blood in the sputum when the nose is sucked back), and the heavy one may cause epistaxis. This symptom is common in patients with ulcers or cauliflower type on the surface of the tumor, but rarely in submucosal type.

Symptom 3: constrictive bloody discharge. It is one of the early symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, especially after getting up in the morning.

matters needing attention

In the early stage of sucking blood in the nose, there may be bleeding symptoms, manifested as blood in the sputum after suction or in the nose when blowing. In the early stage, there was only a small amount of blood in sputum or mucus. Late bleeding is more, there may be nosebleed. There is tinnitus, hearing loss, sense of occlusion in the 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. These are common symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
