(Baonghean.vn) - Brain tumors are extremely dangerous diseases, ranking first in the cause of death in children and young people, with up to 25% of cancer patients under 19 years old having brain tumors. However, many patients easily ignore the early warning signs of the disease... Below are the most common symptoms of brain tumors you should know.
 |
| Regardless of the type of brain tumor, seizures are often the first sign. Irritation from the tumor causes the brain's nerve cells to malfunction, leading to seizures of various types. You may have a twitch of your entire body or just one part of your face. |
 |
| If you suddenly find yourself confused when using keys, frequently losing your balance, or unable to control your hands and feet, this could be a sign of an abnormality in the brain. Other problems such as slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, or difficulty controlling facial expressions are also signs of brain problems. |
 |
| If the tumor forms where the brain connects to the spinal cord, it can lead to signs of frequent loss of feeling, numbness in the limbs. Like becoming clumsy, frequent numbness in the limbs, loss of feeling in a part of the body or face are also signs you should pay attention to. |

| Tumors can cause major changes in a person's behavior or personality. Brain tumors can also affect the ability to remember things, making you more likely to feel confused, lose focus, and have headaches when thinking about complex problems. |

| According to doctors, some brain tumors can cause visual and hearing disturbances. If you experience vision problems such as flashing lights, blurred vision, and small floaters in front of your eyes; while hearing problems can include deafness in one ear or ringing in your ears, you should also seek medical attention immediately. |
 |
| If you often experience persistent headaches, or headaches that appear early in the morning - these are signs that cannot be ignored... Although not all headaches predict brain tumors, but in cases where the cause and treatment are not found, the possibility of brain cancer is quite high; patients should go to the doctor for medical advice as soon as possible. |
