Many diseases are preventable. As long as we understand some information about the disease, such as prevention methods and early symptoms, it is important for us to stay healthy. This is especially true for some serious diseases. When it comes to lung cancer, everyone’s first reaction is that it is very serious. For advanced lung cancer, it is indeed very serious, but we can prevent this from happening. That is, we must understand some of the early symptoms of lung cancer, so that we can detect it early and prevent the disease from worsening. We have also introduced some of the early symptoms of lung cancer.

(1) Cough. About 2/3 of patients have this symptom, which can be mild dry cough or severe cough. Patients with chronic cough may experience changes in the nature of their cough, such as frequent coughing or irritating dry cough, which often does not attract the attention of patients.

(2) Hemoptysis: Long-term smokers suddenly have blood in their sputum, blood streaks, or small blood clots;

(3) Chest pain. In the early stage, chest pain is mild and manifests as intermittent, mild dull pain or piercing pain. The location is uncertain and the relationship with breathing is uncertain. If the tumor invades the pleura, the pain will be more severe, continuous and fixed.

(4) Fever, fever of unknown cause, poor response to antibiotic treatment;

(5) Difficulty breathing that worsens progressively;

(6) Unexplained chest tightness and shortness of breath;

(7) A small number of patients experience hoarseness;

(8) Enlarged finger and toe joints, raised and curved nails, often accompanied by pain;

(9) Gynecomastia refers to the enlargement of one or both breasts of a man to be like that of a woman. When the above symptoms occur, especially for those who are over 40 years old and have been smoking for a long time, they should consider the possibility of lung cancer and go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination in time.

Especially now that the incidence of lung cancer is getting higher and higher, this should attract our attention. Don't let your own negligence lead to the occurrence of the disease and make you regret it. When such a thing happens, not only will you be in great pain, but your family will also be sad and regretful. Therefore, for ourselves and our families, we must understand some knowledge about lung cancer in detail so that we can live a healthy life.
