Compared with lung cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, laryngeal cancer is indeed a malignant tumor with a relatively low incidence, and the early symptoms are not obvious, so it is easy to be ignored, so it will miss the best treatment time for the disease, and even endanger life.
It is precisely so that everyone needs to pay more attention to physical performance, especially people who often smoke and drink, if you have recently found several abnormalities mentioned below, please hurry to the hospital for a detailed examination.
1. Hoarseness
When the symptom of hoarseness is mentioned, some people will think that it is caused by long-term speech, so they do not pay attention to it, but try to alleviate it by drinking more water, but if the condition is still not improved after a period of conditioning, then consider whether it is a symptom caused by laryngeal cancer.
Because when glottis laryngeal cancer occurs, the volume of the cancer tumor becomes larger and larger, it will occupy the position of the vocal cords themselves, and affect the closure of the glottis, and the typical symptoms of hoarseness will appear over time.
In addition, there is a difference between the hoarseness caused by laryngeal cancer and the excessive exertion caused by it, and the hoarseness caused by laryngeal cancer is more harsh in comparison.
2. Sputum with blood
Coughing up sputum is also a more common physiological reaction in life, when the sputum is coughed out, many people often do not particularly care, however, if the recent period of frequent cough, and after ruling out that it is caused by colds and lung diseases, there is blood in the sputum, it is necessary to consider whether it is caused by laryngeal cancer.
The main reason is that the presence of tumors is easy to make the patient's throat itchy feeling, then there will be symptoms of coughing, and continuous coughing will stimulate the tumor, so that capillaries crack, resulting in sputum with blood streaks.
3. Pain in the inner ear
One of the atypical symptoms caused by laryngeal cancer is pain in the inner ear, especially when the disease develops to a more serious stage, it will cause inflammation and ulcers, induce reflex pain, and mostly manifest as ipsilateral inner ear pain.
4. There is a foreign body sensation in the throat
If laryngeal cancer occurs, the cancer becomes larger and larger over time, which will cause the patient's throat to have a foreign body feeling, especially in the process of eating, swallowing will be hindered.
5. There is a lump in the neck
If a mass is found on the upper neck or the angle of the lower jaw when touching the neck area, it is considered whether it is an early symptom of laryngeal cancer.
6. Difficulty breathing
As the disease continues to develop, the cancer grows faster and faster, and most of the space in the throat area that progresses to the middle and advanced stages is occupied, so patients often have abnormal manifestations of breathing difficulties.
To prevent laryngeal cancer from coming to the door, we must stay away from behaviors that are easy to hurt the throat area, such as smoking and drinking, paying attention to oral hygiene, eating spicy and so on.
Especially in the case of long-term smoking, carcinogens such as tar and nicotine in tobacco are easily attached to the throat area, thereby increasing the risk of laryngeal cancer.
All in all, the above 6 contents are several symptoms that may be caused when laryngeal cancer occurs, I hope that everyone will pay more attention, even if only one is found, it is necessary to go to the doctor as soon as possible, so as to avoid getting more and more serious.
In addition, for people who work for a long time in a more serious environment with severe air pollution, it is necessary to take protective measures.
