Don’t you recognize people when you have brain cancer?

Do you know the symptoms of brain cancer? Do you not recognize people with brain cancer? Many patients and friends do not know much about brain cancer and always ask similar questions. In response to this question, we will talk about the symptoms of brain cancer today. Knowing more about brain cancer can help you detect the disease in time and treat it as soon as possible.

Symptoms of brain cancer: Increased intracranial pressure is the main symptom of brain cancer, which occurs in about 80% of brain cancer patients. The main symptoms are headache, nausea and vomiting, and papilledema.
1. Headache is the earliest and most common symptom of brain cancer, seen in 82% to 90% of patients, with different degrees for each person. Initially, it is intermittent, more and heavier in the morning when awake and at night. It is often a throbbing dull pain or distending pain in the forehead or both temporal regions and becomes continuous. Coughing, exerting force, sneezing, bending over, and lowering the head can make the headache worse. Children may not have a headache because the skull is not closed and the cranial sutures separate when the intracranial pressure increases, but only complain of dizziness. Headaches are often ineffective with general analgesics, but are effectively treated with dehydrating agents.
2. Vomiting is one of the main symptoms, which occurs in about 2/3 of brain cancer patients. It is common when there is a severe headache, often accompanied by nausea, and the vomiting is often projectile. In severe cases, the patient cannot eat and vomits immediately after eating. The patient may often become severely dehydrated and lose weight sharply. Vomiting in infratentorial tumors usually occurs earlier and more severely than in supratentorial tumors. This is the result of stimulation of the medullary center, vestibular, vagus nerves, etc. Pediatric patients often have repeated vomiting as their only symptom.
Not being able to recognize people when you have brain cancer is not a symptom of brain cancer. If you experience this symptom, please go to the hospital for examination and symptomatic treatment in time.
