What are the early symptoms of brain tumors

The cells in the brain are very complex, and there are many medical diseases of the brain, brain tumors being one of them. Brain tumors are relatively common brain diseases, and the symptoms in the early stages are also quite obvious, such as persistent and worsening headaches, which may even affect one's life.

Prolonged headache is a typical symptom of intracranial tumor:

1. Headache is one of the common clinical symptoms. Generally speaking, occasional headaches or headaches caused by changes in body position will not be a big problem, but if the headaches last for a long time, you should take it seriously. Long-term or frequent headaches may be a sign of a serious illness, and sometimes the pain is accompanied by nausea and vomiting.

2. Headache is also a common symptom of intracranial hypertension, with an incidence rate of 80% to 90%. It is mild at first, then worsens, and is persistent and paroxysmal, with the characteristic of worsening in the early morning.

3. In fact, the symptoms caused by intracranial tumors are diverse, and the ones mentioned above are only those that are easily ignored and delayed in treatment. The brain is the headquarters of the human body and plays an important role in controlling the entire body, but some parts of the body have not yet been discovered to have any function and are called dumb areas.

4. If a benign tumor grows in a silent area, the patient may not feel any discomfort in the early stage. By the time symptoms are discovered, the tumor has grown very large. Some surgeries are extremely difficult and may not even be completely removed. The surgical risks and the possibility of recurrence are very high. However, if the malignant tumor is discovered early and grows in a relatively non-functional area, the chance of recurrence will be small if the surgery is thorough early on.

5. Most patients with intracranial tumors experience headaches, blurred vision, weakness or paralysis of one side of the limbs, and inability to speak (aphasia) due to the increase in tumor size compressing the surrounding brain tissue and blood vessels, causing peripheral brain edema. Some patients may have recurrent and intractable epileptic seizures (commonly known as epilepsy or epilepsy). Patients with schwannoma often have hearing loss on one side, numbness of the face, or decreased taste in one side of the oropharynx. The above symptoms can occur singly or multiple times. Once they occur, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible and undergo head CT and MRI examinations. If space-occupying lesions are found, surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible.
