Brain cancer, also referred to as a brain tumor, is caused by excessive cell proliferation in the brain. There are both benign and malignant variants of this condition. Neurons, blood vessels, and other brain structures are all good places for tumors to form.
Knowing the signs and symptoms of brain cancer is vital for early detection and effective treatment. Some of the most common warning indicators are:
Headaches
Chronic headaches are a common symptom of brain cancer. Extreme pain is possible, especially while waking up or going asleep.
Seizures
The “Cleveland Clinic” says that seizures, especially if they are abrupt or otherwise mysterious, may be an indicator of brain cancer. Twitching or jerking actions may occur in mild to severe seizures.
Sickness and diarrhea
According to the website healthline When nausea and vomiting occur regularly and appear to be unrelated, it could be an indication of brain cancer.
Problems with vision
Brain tumors have been related to blurred or double vision, impaired or lost peripheral vision, and even total blindness.
Inadequacy; impotence
A brain tumor could be the source of sudden weakness or paralysis on one side of the body. Impaired speaking, swallowing, or gait are all possible side effects.
Character or behavior changes
Depression, irritability, and other mood disturbances can occur.Difficulties concentrating or remembering can also occur.
The appearance of one or more of these symptoms does not always indicate brain cancer, and it is important to remember that they might be caused by other disorders as well.
If, on the other hand, you experience any of these symptoms, you should see your doctor, who may refer you to a specialist for further evaluation.
