"Tumor" is a terrible disease that everyone talks about, and the brain is the most important central nervous system organ of people, so many people often think that having "brain tumor" is an incurable disease, followed by the fear of disease and even avoiding medical treatment. In fact, as long as the correct medical intervention is carried out, most patients with benign tumors can pass through, even if they are malignant tumors, under the existing medical conditions, there is a chance to significantly prolong the survival of patients.

However, if it cannot be detected and intervened in time, and it is allowed to develop and lead to aggravation of the disease, it will increase the difficulty and even lose the opportunity for intervention. Therefore, it is necessary for us to pay attention to our brain health from time to time in our daily life, and we must pay attention to it when some abnormal symptoms appear.

1.Headaches

Most brain tumors are precursed by headaches, which is often present in the early stagesAppears in the morning, which does not decrease after exertion, and the pain is getting worse day by day.

2.Smell hallucinations

I often smell some unpleasant odorssuch as the strong and pungent smell of drugs and the smell of rotting corpses. If you only smell one smell for a long time, it is likely to be a temporal lobe brain tumor.

3.Personality and mental changes

If emotions such as excitement, irritability, euphoria, and depression occur for a long time, it is necessary to pay attention to the tumor in the frontal lobe.

4.Speech disorders

If there is an unexplained speech disorder, such as inability to understand or speak, it may also be a manifestation of a brain tumor in the central area of the brain's language.

5.Abnormalities in visual acuity and visual field

This is most likely a sign that a brain tumor is compressing the visual communication pathway. In addition, when the intracranial pressure is increased due to a brain tumor, the return of the ophthalmic veins will be poor, and fundus edema will also be causedDecreased vision.

6.Tinnitus, deafness

If there is unilateral tinnitus, there is a suspicion of an acoustic neuroma or a brain tumor in the auditory nerve region.

7.Hemiparesthesia

IfParesthesias in half of the body, head and face, such as numbness, pain, etc., should be alerted to whether the brain tumor is compressing the trigeminal nerve conduction pathway. IfPain in one limb, decreased or absent temperature sensation, contralateral brain tumour should be considered.

8.Limb weakness

If it appears suddenlyWeakness and convulsions in one limb, should be suspicious of contralateral cerebral hemisphere motor areas and brainstem tumors above the medulla.

9.Drunken gait

If there is a staggering or drunken gait or unsteady walking, a cerebellar tumor should be suspected.

10.Seizures

If seizures occur suddenly of unknown origin, a brain tumor should be ruled out first, because the brain tumor itself or cerebral edema caused by the brain tumor can stimulate abnormal firing of nerve cells, causing local limb or general convulsions.
