Symptoms of laryngeal cancer that everyone needs to know

It is understood that many people confuse the symptoms of laryngeal cancer with those of laryngitis, which often leads to misdiagnosis of laryngeal cancer. After the symptoms of laryngeal cancer appear, they are treated as laryngitis, which seriously delays the treatment of laryngeal cancer. What are the common symptoms of laryngeal cancer ? Let's talk about the common symptoms of laryngeal cancer.

Common symptoms of laryngeal cancer include:

1. Hoarseness: This is the most common symptom of laryngeal cancer. Laryngeal cancer is a tumor that grows on the vocal cords. Even if it is small, it will affect the voice and cause hoarseness. Therefore, if unexplained hoarseness occurs and lasts for more than two weeks, a detailed laryngeal examination should be performed and it should not be taken lightly.

2. Abnormal sensation in the throat: foreign body sensation or swallowing discomfort, which are symptoms of supraglottic laryngeal cancer. However, the symptoms of this type of cancer are often not obvious at the beginning and are not discovered until the late stage. Tracing back the medical history, it may take several months.

3. Coughing with blood in sputum: Since tumor stimulation can cause irritating dry coughs, patients often feel sticky mucus, so they always like to "clear their throats", which is also a common symptom of laryngeal cancer. Take a deep breath and clear your throat, you will find blood in your sputum. Generally, it manifests as a continuous cough in the middle stage, and blood in the sputum in the late stage.

The above are the common symptoms of laryngeal cancer. I believe everyone should know about this. In daily life, patients must pay attention to it. If the above symptoms of laryngeal cancer appear, they should be checked and treated in time to avoid affecting their health.
