Usually, no clear symptoms of malignant brain tumors appear in the early stages, so the patient does not seek medical help until in the advanced stages of the disease.
Professor Alexander Siryakov, an oncologist, identifies the symptoms that must be paid attention to and not ignored
He says: “Headache is considered the first and most common symptom of a malignant tumor in the brain. Its distinguishing feature is its occurrence or intensification in the second half of the night or around the morning, as well as during stressful situations and physical effort. These sensations are manifested in the form of mild, intermittent, or pressing pain. Therefore, If such symptoms appear, the person should consult a doctor.
According to him, vomiting can be one of the first symptoms of a brain tumor, especially when it appears in the morning in conjunction with a headache. This feeling is not associated with eating and is not accompanied by nausea. In children, it may appear in isolation from other symptoms.
He says: “The signs of malignant tumors in the brain are also attributed to mental disorders, such as the emergence of problems in memory, thinking, perception and concentration. Patients may have difficulty determining their whereabouts and time. The patient becomes nervous and aggressive, or on the contrary becomes lethargic and apathetic, and sometimes you notice He has hallucinations.”
And the specialist points out that convulsive seizures (epilepsy) can be considered among the obvious primary symptoms, because their appearance without an obvious reason for the first time after reaching the age of twenty should worry the person.
He says, “In the early stages, vision problems appear, accompanied by blurring and the appearance of flies before the eyes. Visual acuity may decrease, which, if not treated in a timely manner, can lead to atrophy of the optic nerve, and even complete loss of vision. The patient may also complain of Loss of sensitivity (pain and touch), hearing or speech impairment.
According to him, later dizziness appears in the form of seizures associated with the position of the head.
He says, “When any of the aforementioned symptoms appear, a specialist doctor should be consulted to diagnose the cause and prescribe the appropriate treatment.”
