What are the early signs of a brain tumor?

Brain tumors can cause many inconveniences in the lives of many friends. In order to better solve the problem of brain tumors, we must actively choose appropriate methods for treatment. In the early stages of brain tumors, patients will experience headaches, often after being too excited. Because the brain controls multiple organs in our body, many people's gastrointestinal functions will have adverse reactions, resulting in symptoms of nausea and vomiting. Most patients will have headaches, and the headaches are most obvious in the morning. Frequent nausea and vomiting can cause eating disorders, hearing loss, epilepsy, and a sharp decline in visual function, resulting in blurred vision, and even serious damage in distinguishing things.

The early symptoms of brain tumors mainly include the following:

1. Headache, nausea, and vomiting: Most brain tumor patients experience headaches, especially in the early morning. This type of headache often occurs at four or five in the morning, and the patient is often woken up by the pain during a deep sleep. The deeper the sleep, the more severe the pain. Headache symptoms worsen when coughing, sneezing, or having a bowel movement. Vomiting is usually projectile vomiting, and the headache is slightly relieved after vomiting. This type of vomiting is usually unrelated to diet.

2. Sudden loss of vision: If the disease is neglected and misdiagnosed, and medical treatment is not sought until after blindness, although the brain tumor can be removed surgically, the possibility of restoring vision is very slim.

3. Hearing loss: Patients usually experience tinnitus, hearing loss, or even hearing loss. Unilateral deafness may occur. If there is no history of otitis media, trauma, etc., only one ear will gradually lose hearing. This is most likely the result of an intracranial tumor compressing the auditory nerve.

4. Epileptic seizures: including generalized seizures and focal seizures. Adult epilepsy occurs. Epilepsy usually begins before the age of 20, especially in children. However, if it begins in adulthood, we should be alert to the possibility that it is caused by a brain tumor.

5. Intellectual and mental changes: becoming dull and lazy, with recent memory loss or even loss, loss of orientation and judgment in severe cases, or developing a bad temper, irritability, indifference, etc.

6. Decreased language function: loss of language expression ability or inability to understand language.

7. Endocrine disorders: Women experience menstrual disorders, infertility, lactation, etc., and men experience sexual dysfunction, mainly manifested as decreased libido, impotence, etc. Some patients experience obesity, acromegaly, facial changes, gigantism, etc.

8. Hemisensory disorder: manifested as numbness of one side of the limbs, decreased pain and temperature sensation, abnormal sensation, and disorders of position sense, two-point discrimination, shape sense, texture sense, and entity sense.

9. Hemiplegia: manifested as weakness or paralysis of one half of the body or a single limb.
