A brief analysis of the early symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma that require special attention

Nasopharyngeal cancer is a malignant tumor with a relatively high mortality rate. Many people have lost their lives due to nasopharyngeal cancer, so it must be treated early. What are the common early symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer ? Here are some common early symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer.

Generally, common early symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer include:

1. Blood in the nose: Blood in the nose is the most common early symptom of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which is manifested as blood in the nose or blood in the nose when sucked back from the mouth, also known as blood in the sputum. Blood in the nose often occurs after getting up in the morning. When the amount of blood in the nose is not large, it is often neglected by patients and mistaken for rhinitis or sinusitis, or is treated as hemoptysis in the internal medicine department.

2. Nasal congestion: Nasal congestion is another early symptom of nasopharyngeal cancer. Most cases are unilateral. When the nasopharyngeal tumor grows, bilateral nasal congestion may occur.

3. Tinnitus and hearing loss: Tinnitus, stuffy ears and hearing loss are also common early symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. This early symptom of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is caused by the nasopharyngeal carcinoma neoplasm blocking the Eustachian tube opening on the affected side. Hearing loss may also be caused by further deterioration of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and damage to the auditory nerve. Tinnitus and hearing loss are often misdiagnosed as otitis media or other diseases, which delays treatment.

The above is an introduction to the common early symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Once the early symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer appear, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease.
