Tinnitus and stuffy ears may also be early symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer

At present, the early symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer are not very obvious, and the early symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer have become unremarkable. Therefore, many people ignore the early symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer. So, what are the main early symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer? The following is an introduction to the early symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer by experts.

1. Nasal congestion: About 1/2 of patients have this early symptom of nasopharyngeal cancer . Cancerous lesions blocking the posterior nasal aperture or invading the posterior nasal cavity can cause nasal congestion. The early symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer are mostly unilateral nasal congestion. Nasal congestion caused by colds can occur on both sides at the same time or alternately.

2. Bloody discharge: About 3/4 of patients have this early symptom of nasopharyngeal cancer. Most people experience bloody discharge when they forcefully inhale nasopharyngeal secretions during the morning wash. It can also be due to the infiltration and expansion of the primary cancer, ulceration and infection of the tumor surface mucosa, and other early symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer.

3. Tinnitus and ear stuffiness: When tumors infiltrate the nasopharynx and compress the Eustachian tube, early symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer such as ear blockage, tinnitus and even hearing loss may occur.

4. Continuous headache: About 1/4 of patients experience this as an early symptom of nasopharyngeal cancer, often manifested as persistent headache on one side. It is generally believed that it is caused by nasopharyngeal tumors invading and destroying the bones of the skull base or compressing nerves and blood vessels.
