People can compare the symptoms of esophageal cancer

Sometimes, people feel a little uncomfortable when swallowing, so they suspect that they have esophageal cancer, but the symptoms of esophageal cancer are not like this. The following experts will introduce you to the information about the symptoms of esophageal cancer, and people can compare them according to the symptoms of esophageal cancer .

When we see that one apple in a pile of apples is rotten, we should take it out immediately, otherwise the rest of the apples will also be rotten. We all know the meaning of preventing problems before they occur, and this is even more true for diseases. This is especially true for esophageal cancer, because the esophagus is the only way for us to eat and drink, and swallowing difficulties make many patients suffer. Therefore, esophageal cancer experts believe that the earlier the disease is discovered, the better, but many friends cannot do so, which is mainly due to lack of knowledge about the disease.

What are the symptoms of esophageal cancer? Esophageal cancer experts believe that esophageal cancer is formed by the stimulation of various internal and external factors of the normal epithelial cell receptors of the esophageal mucosa, which gradually turns into cancer. It is still unclear how long it takes for normal epithelium to develop into cancer. Generally speaking, it takes several years for severe hyperplasia of the esophageal epithelium to develop into cancer, and about a year for early cancer to develop into mid-to-late stage cancer.

Esophageal cancer experts have learned that the early symptoms of esophageal cancer are pain behind the sternum, which is more common when eating rough food. It is a needle-like, burning or friction-like pain behind the sternum or under the xiphoid process. It can be relieved by taking antispasmodics. The pain site and lesion site of patients with esophageal cancer are often inconsistent.

In addition, the early symptoms of esophageal cancer include a foreign body sensation or a feeling of food retention. The foreign body sensation is often a subtle tightening and stuffiness behind the sternum, which has no obvious relationship with eating and can be intermittent or continuous. Or occasionally, when eating, there is a feeling that food is sticking to the esophageal wall.

The main symptoms of advanced esophageal cancer are progressive dysphagia, which eventually develops into difficulty drinking water and even difficulty passing saliva. Food reflux and chest and back pain. If the cancer invades the trachea and bronchus, esophageal-tracheal fistula and (or) esophageal-bronchial fistula may form, resulting in severe coughing, dyspnea and lung infection symptoms.

Other symptoms of esophageal cancer: Some esophageal cancer patients feel dryness or tightness in the throat when eating dry food; a few patients have belching. The above are the early symptoms of esophageal cancer described by Western medicine, which are basically consistent with the choking disease in traditional Chinese medicine. Choking means difficulty swallowing and difficulty swallowing; and the diaphragm in traditional Chinese medicine means obstruction of the chest diaphragm, vomiting after eating or even inability to eat, which means obstruction. These are some early symptoms of esophageal cancer and should not be ignored.

The above is the explanation given by the experts on the symptoms of esophageal cancer. I hope it can help you answer your questions. What the experts want to tell you is that in daily life, we must pay attention to our living habits and not let our bad habits lead to the occurrence of diseases.
