In addition to coughing, what other characteristics are there in the early stage of lung cancer? Pay more attention to these three points

Many people know that lung cancer will cause patients to cough constantly, so most people will worry about lung cancer when they keep coughing. But in fact, coughing is an early symptom of many lung diseases. Coughing alone cannot determine whether you have lung cancer. In addition to coughing, lung cancer has other characteristics, such as continuous coughing. Therefore, it is necessary to combine these characteristics to accurately determine whether lung cancer has occurred.

What other characteristics does lung cancer have besides cough?

1. Hoarseness

There is a laryngeal nerve between the larynx and the esophagus, which connects our throat. When there is a tumor in the lungs, it will cause compression on this nerve, causing the nerve to not work properly, which will cause the patient's vocal cord problems and hoarseness when speaking.

2. Facial edema

After lung cancer occurs, as the number of lung cancers continues to increase, it will put pressure on surrounding tissues, especially the superior vena cava, causing the blood in the superior vena cava to not function normally, thereby causing blood operation problems to lead to facial edema. At the same time, patients will experience chest tightness and shortness of breath, which will be more obvious, especially in the middle and late stages of lung cancer.

3. Blood in sputum

After lung cancer occurs, in addition to persistent coughing, patients will also have some phlegm and some blood in the phlegm. Therefore, when coughing, if there is blood in the phlegm, you must be particularly vigilant.

4. Chest pain

Because there are countless nerve fiber endings in the chest, when a tumor occurs, as the tumor increases, the chest wall will be compressed, which will cause the patient to experience chest pain and abdominal pain, especially when taking a deep breath or coughing or laughing, the pain will worsen, and the pain will become more and more severe in the middle and late stages.

We should pay special attention to these characteristics of lung cancer, especially some high-risk groups. Wu Yilong (expert appointment), chief physician of the First Department of Pulmonary Medicine of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, once said in an interview that some people who smoke frequently should pay special attention to their daily lives. Because lung cancer is closely related to smoking, long-term smoking can easily increase their risk of lung cancer, so we should be vigilant.

It can be seen that when lung cancer occurs, only a comprehensive analysis of many aspects can help you determine whether you have lung cancer. In daily life, you should also pay attention to regular lung examinations to detect whether you have lung cancer in a timely manner.

Warm reminder, do not think that your persistent cough is lung cancer. Lung cancer will have some other characteristics when it occurs, so you should make yourself aware. At the same time, pay attention to the early cure probability of lung cancer when it is discovered in the early stage, so some high-risk groups must understand the characteristics of early symptoms in daily life in order to make timely judgments.
