Early symptoms of malignant melanoma in the nose

The early symptoms of malignant melanoma in the nose are very alert, and it is recommended to seek medical diagnosis as soon as possible to obtain a clear treatment plan. Early symptoms are persistent nasal congestion, nose bleeding, and abnormal sinus pain. If these symptoms persist, they should be taken seriously and seek medical attention in time.

1. Persistent nasal congestion: This symptom is often ignored as a common cold or rhinitis, but if the nasal congestion symptoms do not improve for a long time, especially when one nostril is more severe, special attention should be paid. This is because there may be tumor growth interfering with the normal airflow channel.

2. Nosebleed: Malignant melanoma may cause nosebleed due to the stimulation of the tumor. Bleeding often has no obvious cause and may be accompanied by blood stasis. For unexplained nosebleed, a detailed medical examination should be conducted.

3. Abnormal sinus pain: Although sinus pain may be associated with a variety of diseases, unexplained or persistent and gradually worsening sinus pain should be taken seriously. Such pain may indicate tumor invasion of the nasal cavity and surrounding tissues.

4. Other non-specific symptoms: including foreign body sensation in the nasal cavity, decreased or loss of smell, etc. These symptoms are usually not obvious, but when accompanied by other symptoms, you should consider seeking medical attention as soon as possible.

It is extremely important to recognize the symptoms of malignant melanoma in the nose early and seek medical attention in time, because early diagnosis and treatment significantly improve the success rate of treatment. If relevant symptoms are found, timely imaging examinations such as MRI or CT scans, as well as nasal endoscopy, can help doctors further confirm the diagnosis. Regular health check-ups and maintaining good living habits can help reduce the risk of disease. Once diagnosed, you should follow the doctor's advice for appropriate treatment measures, such as surgical resection, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. It is recommended to communicate with a professional medical team to develop a personalized treatment strategy.
