What kind of symptoms will appear in the body if you have throat cancer?
At the early stage of throat cancer, the general symptoms are not typical. Many people may treat it as a cold or pharyngitis, and may show symptoms of acute pharyngitis, such as foreign body sensation, sore throat, hoarseness, and sometimes Nasal congestion may occur, and in severe cases, tinnitus, nosebleeds, and unexplained headaches may occur. However, once these symptoms occur, the most important symptoms may be foreign body sensation, voice changes, severe coughing, and difficulty breathing in the middle and late stages. You can show symptoms.
1. Foreign body sensation in the pharynx. In the early stage, there may be a feeling of disgust in the throat in the morning, or there may be phlegm that cannot be coughed up and sore throat. In severe cases, nausea and vomiting and excessive gastric acid secretion may occur. .
2. Stubborn cough, showing an irritating dry cough. Sometimes coughing up blood will appear after frequent coughing, and it will also show difficulty breathing. Most of them are due to tracheal obstruction after coughing and sputum. Relational.
3. Acute dyspnea is generally related to the enlargement of the tumor in the later stage, which compresses the airway and blocks the respiratory tract. In severe cases, dyspnea will occur.
The 5-year survival rate of early-stage throat cancer can reach 85%, but the early symptoms of throat cancer are not typical, so I hope everyone pays attention to the timely diagnosis and treatment of hoarseness. If you are over 40 years old and have symptoms of hoarseness, If it lasts for more than a month, you should pay attention and go to the hospital as soon as possible to check for throat cancer. In addition, if you have throat pain, foreign body sensation in the throat, blood in the sputum, etc., you should also go to a regular hospital in time. Because the incidence of laryngeal cancer has gradually increased in recent years, only by understanding the symptoms can we help patients detect and treat the disease early.
Hoarse voice, foreign body sensation in the throat, discomfort in swallowing, swelling and pain in the throat, blood streaks in sputum, difficulty breathing, etc., may all indicate the occurrence of laryngeal cancer, but they may be related to the common impression of "getting angry" " and "pharyngitis" are confused, thereby missing the best treatment time. Therefore, if people, especially men, who have a family history, a long-term history of smoking and drinking, and are over 40 years old have frequent hoarseness, swelling and pain in the throat, etc., and conventional treatments are not effective, it is best to undergo electronic laryngoscopy. To detect traces of throat cancer early.
