Which department should I go to for nasopharyngeal cancer?

The incidence of nasopharyngeal cancer is very high in my country, especially in the southern cities where I live. However, the early symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer are not obvious and are easily ignored by people, so it is difficult to detect in time. When patients feel a little symptom and go to the hospital for examination, it may be in the late stage. So which department should be visited for nasopharyngeal cancer? It is the otolaryngology department. Let's take a look at the examination method.

The early symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer are mainly blood in the nasal canal after sucking the nose, or blood in the nose when blowing the nose. However, these symptoms are similar to the symptoms of getting angry, so they are easily ignored. By the time the amount of bleeding is heavy and people pay attention to it, it is very likely that the disease has reached the middle or late stage.

Patients with nasopharyngeal cancer may also experience headaches in the early stages, mainly intermittent pain on one side. In the late stages, there will still be headaches, which manifest as severe headaches. Patients will also have swollen lymph nodes, and these phenomena are easily confused with other symptoms.

Because the symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma are very atypical, once you encounter the above-mentioned symptoms in your life, you should go to the hospital for an examination as soon as possible. There are viral serum tests for nasopharyngeal carcinoma in the early stages, and other effective methods of examination include nasopharyngeal endoscopy, and the final diagnosis is obtained through biopsy sections.

In addition, the current living environment and increased life pressure have resulted in the human body's immunity being not very good, so if you have any physical discomfort, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
