Difference between rhinitis and nasopharyngeal carcinoma nasal congestion

For the student group, due to the sharp increase in study pressure, more and more students are suffering from rhinitis, and there is no particularly good way to treat rhinitis medically, which leads to the continuity of rhinitis. For many office workers, rhinitis is also a common disease, but sometimes some symptoms that seem to be rhinitis are not actually rhinitis, and it is very likely to be nasopharyngeal cancer.

Three quarters of nasopharyngeal cancer patients have blood in their nasal discharge

If people over middle age have nose bleeding accompanied by simple nasal congestion, stuffy ears, and foul-smelling nasal discharge, the possibility of malignant tumors should be considered. If there is a family history and the symptoms of nasal congestion or nose bleeding persist, you should be highly vigilant. In addition, about 3/4 of nasopharyngeal cancer patients have symptoms of bloody nasal discharge, and most of them experience it when washing in the early morning, which is a typical early manifestation of nasopharyngeal cancer.

Beware of rhinitis developing into nasopharyngeal cancer

At present, the number of people suffering from rhinitis is increasing, and the age of patients is tending to be younger. The number of patients with rhinitis is increasing year by year, and the harm to the human body cannot be ignored. If you have rhinitis, you must treat it in time, and never let it develop into a serious disease. At the same time, you should do a good job in preventing nasopharyngeal cancer, avoid viral infection; quit smoking and drinking, and avoid inhaling harmful fumes, such as kerosene lamp gas, insecticide aerosols, etc.; if you find a nasopharyngeal disease, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

Comparison of symptoms between nasopharyngeal carcinoma and rhinitis bleeding

Patients with rhinitis have a history of frequent colds, and their nasal congestion is alternating, intermittent, and related to body position. When lying on the side, the lower nasal congestion worsens, while the other side is well ventilated. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma nasal congestion generally starts as unilateral nasal congestion. As the tumor continues to grow, the nasal septum is squeezed to the opposite side and bilateral nasal congestion occurs, which is progressive and continuous.

Experts remind that if early symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer such as tinnitus, dizziness, and blood in mucus often occur over a period of time, you should go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis as soon as possible. It is important to note that patients with rhinitis should also pay attention to signs of the disease and go to the hospital for nasal endoscopy in time to prevent misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding and knowledge of the difference between nasopharyngeal cancer and rhinitis. In our daily life, we must pay more attention to physical abnormalities. When we find relevant nasopharyngeal cancer symptoms, we must not mistake them for rhinitis because of carelessness. We must give ourselves a comprehensive protection for our physical health.
