How to self-diagnose lung cancer? Self-diagnosis of lung cancer mainly depends on these three points

We all know that lung cancer has some obvious symptoms, such as fever, coughing up blood, chest pain, etc. Many patients also miss the best time to treat lung cancer, which eventually leads to the spread of cancer cells. Therefore, in order to detect lung cancer early and treat it, we must understand some self-diagnosis methods for lung cancer. Let's take a look at it together.

1. Fever

If the patient's tumor blocks the trachea, the distal secretion retention surface will cause inflammation and cause the patient to have fever symptoms. Generally, anti-inflammatory treatment can improve the inflammation symptoms. However, if pneumonia is not cured for a long time or the same part continues to be inflamed, it is likely a manifestation of cancer. Patients need to go to a regular hospital for a detailed diagnosis in time.

2. Bloody sputum

In the self-diagnosis of lung cancer, if the patient has symptoms of coughing up blood and sputum, he needs to undergo regular examination in time, because this is also a typical symptom of lung cancer. Its main feature is repeated and intermittent coughing up sputum, and the sputum will contain blood spots or blood streaks. Even if the chest X-ray is negative during the examination, further examination is required to rule out the possibility of cancer.

3. Chest pain

When lung cancer occurs, patients will also experience chest pain symptoms. The pain will be more obvious when the body position changes or when coughing hard, but it is not obvious under normal circumstances. In the early stages of lung cancer, chest pain and chest discomfort are mostly occasional, and in the later stages of lung cancer, they are continuous. If patients experience such symptoms, they need to be diagnosed and treated in a timely and detailed manner.

We all know that in the early stages of lung cancer, most patients present with cough, followed by a gradual onset of the disease and a feeling of difficulty breathing in the lungs. These can all be used as methods for the preliminary diagnosis of lung cancer. I believe that through the above introduction, everyone has a certain understanding of the preliminary diagnosis of lung cancer.
