What are the early symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer and how to prevent it

In China, nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a very common cancer, and its incidence rate even ranks first in the world. As the saying goes, early detection means early treatment. Now I will introduce to you the early symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and how to prevent it.

The early symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma are mainly bleeding caused by dryness of the nasal cavity or nasopharynx, which usually does not last long. However, the bleeding of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is repeated and continuous, and there are also worsening symptoms, accompanied by tinnitus, hearing loss, ear obstruction, etc. At this time, as long as you go to the hospital for a nasopharyngeal endoscopy, you can make a clear judgment at a glance.

In people's daily life, prevention of nasopharyngeal cancer should be carried out from the following aspects:

1. Avoid being exposed to heavily polluted external air as much as possible. Because the nasopharynx is the only way for external air to enter the lungs, harmful gases first invade the nasopharynx before entering the lungs. Therefore, you should pay attention to improving your living and working environment and avoid long-term inhalation of dry, dusty and irritating gases.

2. Quit smoking and drinking. Long-term smoking and drinking can cause a variety of diseases, including nasopharyngeal cancer. Therefore, to prevent nasopharyngeal cancer, you must stay away from smoking and drinking.

3. Pay attention to the dietary structure, do not be partial to food, eat more vegetables, fruits and other foods containing a lot of vitamins. Eat less or no salted fish, pickled meat, spicy, fried and other irritating foods.

4. Strengthening exercise and enhancing immunity are also effective ways to prevent nasopharyngeal cancer. Specific methods include: insisting on washing your face with cold water to prevent colds. Actively treat acute rhinitis, diseases of organs adjacent to the nose, and systemic diseases to prevent the induction of this disease.

Nasopharyngeal cancer is so prevalent in China, so everyone must take preventive measures. If you already have nasopharyngeal cancer, you must go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible and control your condition.
