The brain is the organ that controls our entire body, which is why it also requires special care. Problems related to this organ are increasing due to various environmental conditions along with lifestyle and dietary disturbances. Even young people are being found to be victims of brain diseases. Brain tumor is one such problem that is increasing rapidly globally.
Brain tumor is caused by uncontrolled growth of cells in or around the brain. It can also be a cancer factor. Studies show that more than 120 different types of tumors can develop in the brain. If someone in the family has a brain tumor, then other people are also advised to be careful. Apart from this, people working in the plastic and chemical industry can also be at risk.
Let us know which symptoms can detect whether you have a tumor in your brain or not.
Brain tumor and its causes
Johns Hopkins experts say that in many cases the causes of brain tumor are unknown. Sometimes genetics and environmental risk factors are considered responsible for this. People with weak immune systems have been seen to have a higher risk of brain tumors. Not all cases of brain tumors need to be cancerous. The risk of it taking a serious form can be reduced with timely treatment.
Doctors say that some very common symptoms also indicate tumors, which should be given serious attention.
Do not ignore frequent headaches
Dr Vikas Kumar, neurosurgeon at Ranchi RIMS, says that the symptoms of a brain tumor depend on the size and location of the tumor. In many cases, the symptoms also depend on how fast the brain tumor is growing. Headache is considered its initial sign. Do not ignore frequent headaches.
Headache or pressure that increases more in the morning or frequent headaches can be a sign of a brain tumor in many cases. If you also have such a problem, then definitely consult a doctor.
Other symptoms of brain tumor
Apart from the problem of continuous or severe headache, vomiting, and nausea without any apparent reason can also be a sign of a tumor. Problems like blurred vision, change in vision or double vision have also been seen in many people with tumor problems.
The condition of a brain tumor can also cause problems of physical balance and coordination such as difficulty in walking or sitting. Due to this, problems in speaking, difficulty in remembering words, and changes in personality or behavior have also been seen. Lethargy or excessive sleepiness is also considered to be a sign of this serious problem.
Keep paying attention to all these symptoms. If you have had two or three of these problems for some time, then definitely consult a doctor about this.
It is not necessary to see symptoms in brain tumor
Doctors say that it is not necessary that symptoms appear every time in a brain tumor. In many cases, especially in adults, the tumor often grows so slowly that it is not noticed. In some cases, tumors do not cause symptoms until they start affecting healthy tissue or parts inside the brain. This is why even small changes in the body should not be ignored. Timely diagnosis can prevent the risk of serious health problems.
