Early symptoms of throat cancer in women

If you find that your throat is persistently uncomfortable, hoarse, or there is a foreign body sensation in your throat, these may be early signs of laryngeal cancer and you should see a doctor for screening as soon as possible.

Laryngeal cancer is a rare cancer in women, but its early symptoms can be easily confused with common pharyngitis. Factors that cause pharyngeal cancer may be related to smoking, drinking, viral infection, air pollution, and long-term overuse of the voice. Knowing these early signs can help detect hidden dangers as early as possible and avoid delays in the disease.

In the early stage, the voice may be persistently hoarse and difficult to recover, especially if it is not caused by a cold; abnormal symptoms such as a foreign body sensation in the throat or blood in the sputum; sore throat when eating or even difficulty swallowing may also be potential danger signals. In addition, long-term unexplained cough or swollen lymph nodes in the neck, especially accompanied by weight loss, fatigue and other symptoms, should be more vigilant.

To protect yourself, it is recommended to avoid smoking and long-term drinking to protect your throat from irritation. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the respiratory tract and wear a mask to avoid inhaling harmful smoke and dust. If the discomfort persists for more than two weeks, be sure to go to the ENT department for further examination as soon as possible to clarify the cause.
