Brain cancer and intracranial tumors may cause progressively worsening headaches in the early stages

In clinic, many patients with brain cancer and intracranial tumors have already grown very large when they seek medical treatment, which not only brings more risks and complications to the surgery, but also brings a lot of pain to the patients. In fact, most intracranial tumors still have some abnormal manifestations in the early stage of onset, such as progressively worsening headache symptoms, but people often ignore their early warnings due to lack of relevant knowledge, thus missing the opportunity to discover the tumor in time and diagnose and treat it in time.

It is very common for people to have headaches in their daily lives. Common causes include colds, poor sleep, too much stress, and bad moods. If patients with brain cancer and intracranial tumors experience headaches, it is mainly related to increased intracranial pressure. As the tumor grows little by little (or hydrocephalus worsens), headaches gradually appear, and the headaches will show a progressive worsening characteristic.

Although many brain cancer patients may not experience headaches at first, they must be taken seriously when they do occur. Headaches caused by colds, sleep, stress and other factors will disappear on their own as the primary disease improves. If the headache symptoms do not disappear and are accompanied by symptoms such as vomiting, decreased vision, poor memory and slow reaction, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and examination in time to confirm or rule out brain cancer intracranial tumors.
