Possible diseases of this symptom:

1) Pharyngitis: The common manifestations of chronic pharyngitis are similar, but the manifestations are different, such as throat discomfort, foreign body sensation, throat secretion difficult to cough up, throat itching, burning sensation, and slight pain.

2) Reflux esophagitis: At present, the incidence of this disease is increasing, mainly due to the relaxation of the sphincter of cardia, and the reflux of stomach contents and digestive juice into the esophagus through the cardia, which will seriously cause discomfort to the throat. In addition to foreign body sensation, there are burning sensation and pain behind the sternum. Generally, it can be found by gastroscopy.

Esophageal cancer has no obvious symptoms in the early stage. In the middle stage, progressive dysphagia gradually appeared, which was typically manifested by the difficulty in swallowing steamed bread and rice. With the growth of the tumor, it gradually appeared that eating noodles, chaos or thick porridge began to swallow, and finally it was difficult to enter the water.

It's best to go to the hospital for gastroscopy, so that you can know the situation of throat, esophagus and stomach, and make a definite diagnosis after observing several diseases appealed. Then, according to the specific disease situation, visit the corresponding departments and carry out targeted treatment.

First of all, to answer your question, foreign body sensation or choking sensation in throat may indeed be the early symptoms of esophageal cancer, but it is not so serious in most cases, and there are many diseases that can lead to this symptom.

Chronic pharyngitis is a very common pharyngeal disease, which is caused by inflammation of the throat for various reasons. The most common clinical symptom is eye discomfort, often feeling that there are foreign bodies in the throat, and many patients will have hoarseness and other manifestations. Spray or medicine can be used according to the situation, but it is easy to recur.

gastroesophageal reflux can also cause symptoms of foreign body sensation in the pharynx, the main symptoms are heartburn and acid regurgitation, accompanied by burning sensation behind the sternum, and some patients may have swallowing discomfort or foreign body sensation in the pharynx, which may be caused by esophageal spasm or esophageal dysfunction, and some patients may also have progressive aggravation of dysphagia.

Of course, progressive dysphagia is often the cause of esophageal cancer, but it is often the late symptom of esophageal cancer. The early symptoms are sometimes atypical, or there is only a slight choking sensation. Esophageal reflux and swallowing food are pain and clinical manifestations of esophageal cancer in the late stage. Esophageal cancer is prone to people who eat nitrite for a long time, often eat areca or people who eat too rough food.

besides the clinical symptoms, gastroscopy is a commonly used method for the diagnosis of esophageal cancer. It can not only visually see the situation of esophagus, but also take pathological biopsy to make a clear diagnosis, which is also the main basis for distinguishing esophageal cancer from other diseases. Therefore, whether it is esophageal cancer or not, if the above symptoms appear, you can see a doctor in time for relevant examination to avoid misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

Welcome to pay attention to the life call-up order and get more useful health knowledge.

Let me talk about my experience about your question!

two years ago, I was the one with a sore throat, and it was getting worse. I feel uncomfortable talking, even turning my head, and I still feel something in my throat, but I thought it was a fishbone stuck, and I felt it when I swallowed saliva. I can't turn my head and talk, which has greatly affected my life.

I went to the hospital for examination. I wanted to fail the Otolaryngology Department, but it was Sunday, and there was no doctor working in that department. If I wanted to fail, I had to go to the General Hospital. I hung up the respiratory medicine department. I wanted to be a laryngoscope or something, but I couldn't do it that day, so I had to do laryngeal color Doppler ultrasound. After I came out, I was prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs for many days, and it cost almost 5 yuan to add medicine and check that day.

after taking the medicine for three days, it didn't have any effect. I decided to go to the otolaryngology department to have a laryngoscope, and went to a big hospital to hang up the otolaryngology department. The doctor looked at my mouth with a small mirror and said nothing, no laryngoscope was needed, and there were no fishbones. Most of the time, the patient scares himself. It's not that serious. I won't prescribe medicine for you. Don't care about it when you go back, and then take the anti-inflammatory medicine you prescribed before. If it doesn't get better in a week, it's not too late for you to come back for a laryngoscope.

I don't think it's anything serious. Don't take it to heart, let alone look at it in the mirror and scare yourself. I will continue to take medicine after I come back, and I won't look in the mirror. I'll be really well in a few days.

I really met a doctor with conscience, which saved me money for laryngoscope and spared me the pain of doing it.

So in your case, you should go to see a specialist quickly, and don't speculate too much. Maybe it's not as serious as we thought!

finally, I wish you a speedy recovery!

At present, esophageal cancer is discovered relatively late, because it is mainly a means of examination, and another is the patient's consciousness.

Esophageal cancer is often related to eating. That is to say, most patients with esophageal cancer have some bad eating habits. For example, he smokes a lot of alcohol, cigarettes are of poor quality, and some people like to eat very hot and pickles and sauerkraut. For example, in Taihang Mountain area, his esophageal cancer is a high incidence area, which has a certain relationship with his eating habits.

It is difficult to find out if he has some burning sensation or eating discomfort in the esophagus in the early days. We found it relatively late. If he had a physical examination in the early days, we sometimes found the early esophageal cancer through physical examination. With the progress of the disease, he may have a burning sensation behind the sternum after swallowing cigarettes, or he may have difficulty swallowing cigarettes, that is, he can't swallow anything or his injury has caused damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve. He didn't check until he had hoarseness, and even some patients had swollen cervical lymph nodes, or it was difficult for them to eat, so the discovery of esophageal cancer was late at this time. In the early days, we often looked through some mirrors, or when we felt unwell or lost weight or changed our eating habits, we came to make a diagnosis and treatment earlier. In this way, we can find some early esophageal cancer.

It's common for many people to have a sore throat and a foreign body sensation. But does this situation mean esophageal cancer? In fact, don't worry, the vast majority of cases should not be esophageal cancer. So, what kind of disease is esophageal cancer? How to deal with it?

first, you need to know about esophageal cancer!

Esophageal cancer is also called esophageal cancer in medicine.

Its most common types are squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma, which are derived from esophageal epithelial cells and can occur anywhere in the esophagus.

Esophageal cancer can be manifested as esophageal stenosis, flat lesions of mass or foreign body and abnormal connection between esophagus and trachea. Less common types of esophageal cancer include leiomyosarcoma and metastatic cancer.

The incidence of esophageal cancer is very high, and the incidence of squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma in men is higher than that in women.

There are several core points about esophageal cancer, which you can remember:

1. Esophageal cancer mainly comes from esophageal epithelial cells.

2. Smoking, alcoholism, certain infections, diseases and other cancers are the main risk factors for esophageal cancer.

3. Typical symptoms include dysphagia, weight loss and pain.

4. Endoscopy can diagnose.

5. If not found early, most esophageal cancers can be fatal.

6. Treatment depends on surgery and chemotherapy, which can relieve symptoms and prolong life.

second, what are the symptoms of esophageal cancer?

Generally speaking, early esophageal cancer has no obvious symptoms, so it is easy to be ignored.

Its first symptom is difficulty in swallowing solid food, which will lead to esophageal stenosis with the further development of tumor.

after several weeks, it becomes difficult for patients to swallow soft food and liquid consciously. Weight loss is still common even if patients still eat well. At the same time, the patient may have chest pain, which can radiate to the back.

When tumors are in the advanced stage, they usually invade different nerves and other tissues and organs.

The compression of nerves dominating vocal cords in oncology department leads to hoarseness, and compression of peripheral nerves can produce Horner syndrome, spinal pain and hiccups.

Tumors often metastasize to the lung, causing shortness of breath, to the liver, causing fever and abdominal distension, to the bone, causing pain, to the brain, causing headache, confusion and seizures, and to the intestine, causing vomiting, bloody stool and anemia.

In the advanced stage, the tumor can completely block the esophagus. Because it is impossible to swallow, secretions accumulate in the mouth, which makes the patient very painful.

third, the pharynx has a sense of obstruction, is it esophageal cancer?

Objectively speaking, esophageal cancer has symptoms of dysphagia, but dysphagia is not necessarily esophageal cancer. It is very one-sided and unscientific to judge esophageal cancer only by dysphagia.

Conditions that can cause dysphagia:

1. Esophageal hiatus hernia

In fact, part of the stomach protrudes into the chest from the esophageal hiatus of diaphragm, which can also cause dysphagia.

2. Dysmotility of esophagus

For example, achalasia of cardia, esophageal spasm, dysmotility of throat, etc. can all cause swallowing suffering.

3. Inflammation of throat, etc.

In addition, there are many conditions, such as long-term nasal congestion, pharyngitis, etc., and there will also be symptoms of dysphagia.

If you find dysphagia, first of all, don't judge by yourself, just go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis in time. With the current technology and means, the diagnosis is still relatively easy.

welcome to join me in paying attention to health science!

It is suggested that the gastroscope should be improved first, and the laryngoscope should be excluded. If the examination is normal, it may belong to "plum nuclear qi" in traditional Chinese medicine, which may be related to recent stress, emotional disorder and qi stagnation. You can take traditional Chinese medicine to soothe the liver and relieve depression, regulate qi and resolve phlegm.

if it was so easy to confirm cancer, there wouldn't be a doctor! If you feel uncomfortable, go to the hospital and ask such a question here. There is no way for the top, top and authoritative experts in the world to diagnose cancer for you just because of your simple words!

First of all, esophageal cancer also has this symptom. So it can't explain anything simply from one symptom. It's best to check whether there is esophageal cancer or other problems, such as plum blossom gas, bronchitis, pharyngolaryngitis, polyps and tonsillitis, and some esophageal ulcers are easy to form this state. Therefore, besides esophageal cancer, many diseases have this symptom, and gastritis, esophagitis, indigestion and indigestion will lead to food accumulation.

Therefore, we can't know the cause and condition of a symptom clearly, so we just need to check it out and treat it symptomatically. What causes it, we should find out and treat it early, so even esophageal cancer needs to be found and treated early to achieve the therapeutic effect, and don't delay it, otherwise all kinds of diseases are easy to treat in the early stage, and if delayed, it will become late stage, so some doctors will say that this kind of problem may not be possible. In short, it's uncertain.

So you go for a check-up instead of listening to it, that is, some people say that you will be happy if you don't, and doctors say that you don't have to worry about it if you don't. In fact, you should check-up and treat it early, and online consultation means that you have to do specific tests to know what a state is, so don't delay to check-up and treat minor illnesses and serious illnesses early.

It's not good for your health at all. The more confused you are, the more uncomfortable you will feel.

I had a foreign body sensation, and then I went to the hospital and took a few boxes of medicine. It was pharyngitis that gradually got better by eating less stimulating food.
