Symptoms of brain cancer in women

The brain is one of the most important organs of the human body. Regardless of whether the tumor in the brain is benign or malignant, once it compresses any part of the brain, it will cause damage to different functions of the human body. In addition, the complexity of brain tissue is higher than any other part, which adds to the difficulty of treatment. This is also the tricky part of brain cancer. Brain cancer can be divided into primary brain cancer and metastatic cancer that spreads from other parts to the brain. Primary brain cancer occurs in children. Generally speaking, it is also common for serious liver cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, etc. to eventually spread to brain cancer.

Intracranial tumors can occur at any age, but are most common between the ages of 20 and 50. Children are more likely to have tumors in the posterior cranial fossa and midline, mainly medulloblastoma, craniopharyngioma and ependymoma. In adults, gliomas in the cerebral hemisphere are the most common, such as astrocytoma, glioblastoma, ependymoma, etc., followed by meningioma, pituitary tumor and craniopharyngioma, neurofibroma, cavernous hemangioma, cholesteatoma, etc. There is no obvious gender difference in the incidence of primary intracranial tumors, with males slightly more than females. Clinical manifestations of brain cancer: 1. Headache, nausea, vomiting, headache mostly located in the forehead and temporal area, which is a persistent headache with paroxysmal aggravation, often more severe in the morning, and normal during the interval. 2. Papilledema and decreased vision. 3. Mental and consciousness disorders and other symptoms: dizziness, diplopia, transient blackout, cataplexy, confusion, mental restlessness or indifference, epilepsy, and even coma may occur. 4. Changes in vital signs: Moderate and severe acute increase in intracranial pressure often causes slower breathing and pulse, and increased blood pressure.

Symptoms of brain cancer in women: 1. Mental symptoms: often manifested as slow reaction, lazy life, recent memory loss, or even loss. In severe cases, loss of self-awareness and judgment. It can also manifest as bad temper, irritability or euphoria. 2. Epileptic seizures: including systemic seizures and localized seizures. The frontal lobe is the most common, followed by the temporal lobe, parietal lobe, and the occipital lobe is the least common. Some cases have precursors before convulsions. For example, temporal lobe tumors often have hallucinations, dizziness and other precursors before epileptic seizures. Parietal lobe tumors may have abnormal sensations such as limb numbness before seizures. 3. Symptoms of pyramidal tract damage: manifested as weakness or paralysis of the half of the body or a single limb on the opposite side of the tumor, and positive pathological signs.
