How to self-diagnose lung cancer? Introduction to self-diagnosis methods for lung cancer

Lung cancer has some symptoms in the early stage, such as fever, blood in sputum, chest pain, etc., but many patients often mistakenly think it is a minor illness and do not take it seriously. So, do we have any self-diagnosis methods for lung cancer? Of course there are, and see the detailed introduction given by the experts below.

1. Fever

If the patient's tumor blocks the trachea, the distal secretion retention surface will cause inflammation and cause the patient to have fever symptoms. Generally, anti-inflammatory treatment can improve the inflammation symptoms. However, if pneumonia is not cured for a long time or the same part continues to be inflamed, it is likely a manifestation of cancer. Patients need to go to a regular hospital for a detailed diagnosis in time.

2. Bloody sputum

In the self-diagnosis of lung cancer, if the patient has symptoms of coughing up blood and sputum, he needs to undergo regular examination in time, because this is also a typical symptom of lung cancer. Its main feature is repeated and intermittent coughing up sputum, and the sputum will contain blood spots or blood streaks. Even if the chest X-ray is negative during the examination, further examination is required to rule out the possibility of cancer.

3. Chest pain

When lung cancer occurs, patients will also experience chest pain symptoms. The pain will be more obvious when the body position changes or when coughing hard, but it is not obvious under normal circumstances. In the early stages of lung cancer, chest pain and chest discomfort are mostly occasional, and in the later stages of lung cancer, they are continuous. If patients experience such symptoms, they need to be diagnosed and treated in a timely and detailed manner.

Therefore, when patients have the symptoms described above, do not think that it is a minor disease. Lung cancer may be approaching you step by step. Of course, self-diagnosis is only part of it. The most important thing is to trust the doctor, find a reliable hospital for diagnosis and treatment, and try to control the disease in its early stages and embrace health.
