Beware! Irregular lifestyle can lead to laryngeal cancer

Laryngeal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the head and neck, second only to lung cancer, and is the second most common cancer in the respiratory tract. Many people do not pay attention to their lifestyle, which leads to the occurrence of laryngeal cancer. It is true that an irregular lifestyle can cause laryngeal cancer. If you want to avoid the occurrence of laryngeal cancer, you must change some bad living habits. In this regard, let's listen to the detailed explanation of the experts.

The main symptoms of laryngeal cancer are 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, worsening sore throat, difficulty swallowing, severe sore throat when eating, even difficulty drinking water, acute cough, difficulty breathing, difficulty breathing during sleep, uncomfortable sleeping posture, or open mouth breathing, headache, migraine, ear pain, coughing up sticky colloid sputum, blood in sputum, tongue stiffness, etc. Although the mechanism of laryngeal cancer has not yet been fully clarified, it is certain that an unhealthy lifestyle is an important factor in the development of laryngeal cancer.

1. 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 (average of more than 15 years); in India, a high-incidence area for laryngeal cancer, both men and women generally have the habit of smoking. It is generally estimated that smokers are 3 to 39 times more likely to develop laryngeal cancer than non-smokers. From the author's actual clinical records, 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, and under the synergistic effect of multiple factors, it will eventually lead to cancer. Drinking is also an important factor in the occurrence of laryngeal cancer. Studies have found that long-term alcohol intake will damage the laryngeal mucosal epithelium. Someone investigated the workers of a Danish brewery. Due to the free beer, the workers in this factory consumed more beer per day than the average Danish male, and the incidence of laryngeal cancer was significantly increased. If a person drinks and smokes for a long time at the same time, it will accelerate the possibility of cancer. 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, patients with longer smoking history, heavier smoking volume and drinking alcohol at the same time will have much more severe symptoms than other patients once they develop laryngeal cancer, and more of them will have metastasis to the neck.

2. Regarding "bad lifestyle can cause laryngeal cancer", we should pay attention to the fact that unscientific diet and staying up late are also important factors that cause laryngeal cancer. Frequent consumption of hot, irritating, or "hot" food will directly damage the laryngeal mucosa. In the clinic, there is a female laryngeal cancer patient, nearly 60 years old, who has been partial to raw fish hot pot for many years, and especially likes "spicy hot pot". In addition, she has the bad habit of staying up late and playing mahjong for a long time. Even when her voice was obviously hoarse and she had persistent throat pain, she did not seek medical treatment in time, which eventually led to the occurrence of laryngeal cancer.

In addition, mental factors and excessive psychological stress are also factors that cannot be ignored in the development of laryngeal cancer. During the long-term treatment of laryngeal cancer, we once encountered an elderly laryngeal cancer patient who had been smoking and drinking for a long time. 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. This patient, who had suffered from vocal cord polyps for many years, developed laryngeal cancer in less than half a year under a series of mental stimulations and an unhealthy lifestyle.

After reading the above introduction, I believe everyone has some understanding. Then we should quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to scientific diet, develop good habits of going to bed early and getting up early, and be in a good mood. This is of positive significance in preventing the occurrence of laryngeal cancer.
