What are the symptoms of laryngeal tumors? How to prevent them?

Experts believe that the treatment of laryngeal cancer cannot rely solely on a single treatment method. Green comprehensive tumor therapy emphasizes starting from the patient's psychological and physiological tolerance, giving full play to the role of traditional Chinese medicine in tumor treatment, and maximizing the cure rate of patients. Let our experts briefly introduce the symptoms of laryngeal tumors to you, hoping to help you!

Laryngeal cancer is the second most common cancer in the respiratory tract, second only to lung cancer. According to statistics, there are about 121,000 new cases of laryngeal cancer every year in the world.

Symptoms of laryngeal tumors include hoarseness, persistent sore throat, obvious foreign body sensation in the throat, itchy throat, cough, etc. In the late stage, the patient may suffer from severe hoarseness or even complete loss of voice and be unable to speak. When the sore throat worsens, the patient may have difficulty swallowing, severe sore throat when eating, and even difficulty drinking water. The patient may have acute cough, difficulty breathing, difficulty breathing during sleep, inability to sleep in a comfortable position, or open-mouth breathing, headache, migraine, ear pain, coughing up sticky colloid sputum, blood in sputum, and tongue stiffness.

An unhealthy lifestyle is an important factor in the development of laryngeal cancer. Smoking, drinking, unscientific diet, staying up late, mental factors, and excessive psychological stress are all closely related to the occurrence of laryngeal cancer. Smoking and drinking are the main risk factors for laryngeal cancer. According to literature reports, about 80% to 90% of laryngeal cancer patients have a long history of smoking (on average more than 15 years), and the risk of laryngeal cancer is 3 to 39 times that of non-smokers. All male patients have a long and heavy history of smoking. Long-term smoking will increase the number of activated carcinogens in the epithelial cells of the laryngeal mucosa. Drinking is also an important factor in the development of laryngeal cancer.

Studies have found that long-term alcohol intake can damage the laryngeal mucosal epithelium and significantly increase the incidence of laryngeal cancer. If a person drinks and smokes for a long time at the same time, the possibility of cancer will be accelerated. Most of these patients are men aged 55 to 75, and their smoking history is more than 30 to 40 years. These patients basically have a history of chronic pharyngitis. Moreover, the longer the smoking history, the heavier the smoking, and the drinking of patients, once they develop laryngeal cancer, their symptoms are far more severe than other patients, and there are more metastases to the neck.

Frequent consumption of hot, irritating or "hot" foods will directly damage the laryngeal mucosa. People who are partial to hot pot, especially "spicy hot pot", stay up late for a long time, and do not seek medical treatment in time when they have persistent throat pain will eventually lead to laryngeal cancer. Mental factors and excessive psychological stress are also factors that cannot be ignored in the development of laryngeal cancer. An elderly laryngeal cancer patient smoked and drank for a long time in his life. After retirement, his wife unfortunately died of illness and his son had a car accident. While he was grieving and staying up late, he smoked more and drank more uncontrollably. Coupled with an unhealthy lifestyle, he developed laryngeal cancer in less than half a year.

Quitting smoking and drinking, paying attention to a healthy diet, developing good habits of going to bed early and getting up early, and being in a good mood are all positively significant in preventing the occurrence of laryngeal cancer.

Experts remind that a balanced diet, attention to nutritional balance, eating less fried foods, smoked foods, pickled foods, moldy foods and foods containing additives, as well as quitting smoking and drinking, exercising regularly and maintaining a good mood will definitely prevent the occurrence of laryngeal cancer.
