Tumours growing in the skull are commonly known as "brain tumours", which can occur at any age, and in recent years, the incidence of brain tumours is increasing every year, which is more dangerous. How can brain tumours be detected early and thus be diagnosed and treated at an early stage?
How is a brain tumour caused?
1, Radiation effects
Nowadays, there is a wide range of electrical appliances, and the most common items that people use are television sets, computers and mobile phones. As long as there is electricity, there will be electrical radiation, especially for pregnant women, and the risk of fetal cancer may be increased by these radiation effects.
2,Drug abuse
The use of drugs that should not be used, or the overuse of antibiotics, etc., as well as drug abuse during pregnancy, can cause brain tumours.
3,Viral infections
Infection with papillomavirus and EBV during pregnancy and even in the newborn baby may cause lesions in the body.
4, Environmental pollution
Many foods, fast foods and drinks contain additives such as colours, flavours, preservatives, thickeners, etc., many of which are not known to cause disease. For adults, the body has a strong metabolism, so they may not react to eating them. But children have weak liver and kidney capacity, so if they eat too much, toxins will easily accumulate in their bodies and cause malignant lesions.
2,The following 6 symptoms may cause brain tumour!
1, Headache
Headaches occur throughout the day, but are most pronounced in the early morning, often waking up from a deep sleep. The headache is often aggravated by coughing, sneezing and head bowing, and is relieved when the head is elevated, sitting or standing.
2, Vomiting
The headache usually occurs when the headache is severe and may be relieved by vomiting.
3, Loss of vision, double vision
In the early stages, there may be a black cloud in front of the eyes and a brief loss of vision, which gradually progresses to persistent vision loss and eventually complete blindness. Some people may experience bilateral temporal hemianopia, which can be severe enough to prevent the patient from acting.
4, Monocular protrusion
The most common cause is a brain tumour, which can affect the eyelid in severe cases, causing eyelid problems such as lid fissures and incomplete eyelid closure.
5, Acromegaly
This is a characteristic clinical symptom of eosinophilic pituitary tumours. It is characterised by fat, thick, thick and large hands and feet, protruding eyebrow arches and jaws, and an ugly appearance.
6, Amenorrhoea and lactation
The first symptom of pituitary tumour is lactation and amenorrhoea in women of childbearing age. In men, the main symptoms are impotence, loss of beard, axillary hair and pubic hair, and thickening of subcutaneous fat.
