Old Held Headaches, Brain Cancer Symptoms Beware!

You often have headaches which are repeated in the same head? If so, you need to suspect the pain. Therefore, it is not impossible, the pain was a symptom of brain cancer early.

Brain cancer is not as popular other cancers, such as cervical cancer or breast cancer. However, like most cancers in general, brain cancer is a disease is silent (silent killer) is dangerous.

Because of its nature, the brain cancer is often detected only after entering an advanced stage. If the pain in the head has peaked, there is a possibility, the cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastasis). If it were so, cancer treatment becomes more complicated and risky. Therefore, people need to do early detection of brain cancer.

Symptoms of brain cancer

Brain cancer, usually, will be accompanied by symptoms that can be seen or felt directly by the patient. For example, body cramps, nausea and vomiting, blurred vision and headaches. By medical experts, this condition is called as a symptom of increased pressure within the brain or intracranial. If you experience these symptoms, chances are, you are suffering from brain cancer.

The patients who experience these symptoms, first must conduct a thorough examination of the head and brain. It should be diagnosed as a whole because the brain is an important part of the body, but soft.

As an organ of the body that regulates all body activity (multitasking), the brain consists of three parts, namely a large brain (cerebrum), cerebellum (cerebellum), and brain stem (brain stem). The brain plays an important role in one's life.

The brain is a dangerous place if the location or site of tumor development. Let tame, but still must be removed. However, because the brain is the organ that is soft, very risky in providing treatment,

More dangerous, medical experts can not conclude the cause of development of malignant or cancerous tumors in the brain. brain cancer cases occur in children under the age of 17 years, most likely, the cause is genetic factors. Meanwhile, the causes of brain cancer in adults is still in the research expert.

Based on the opinions of medical experts, the growth of cancer patients in developing countries, like Indonesia, will be massive. About 100 people of every 100,000 risk of cancer, including brain cancer. Currently, the spread of brain cancer in Indonesia arguably still minimal.

Indeed, cancers need time to switch become malignant. But, it would be optimal if the cancer is detected while still benign. If still in the level of the early stages, cancer can be cured and controlled.

Headache is the most complained of pain in addition to low back pain patients when seeing a doctor, and head pain an early symptom that affects approximately 30 percent of patients with brain tumors.

Symptoms of brain tumors depends on the location and speed of its growth. But the symptoms appear in disguised that usually begins with mild mental disorder that can only be felt by people who have close contact with patients, such as irritability, emotional instability, forgetfulness, slow and lacking initiative, and depression.

headache is usually difficult to describe and varied, ranging from mild and episodic to severe and throbbing or explode, which generally gets worse at night, when you wake up in the morning and during the change of position.

Initially, tumor headache caused local swelling around the tumor or due to damage to blood vessels around the tumor, and eventually caused by high pressure inside the head.

In addition to head pain, he said, the brain tumor was also found symptoms of nausea vomiting, especially if the location of the tumor in the back, convulsions, and impaired vision and weakness of other nerves.

Patients typically come to doctors with symptoms of headache in the frontal region (forehead) and head back, which usually has a long and progressive,

Based on research IHS (International Headache Society) in 1988 there were 13 groups of headache, among which are migraine, tension type headache, headache due to head trauma, headache due to infection, and headache due to metabolic disorders.

When viewed from the time and duration of attacks, headache can be divided into acute and chronic headache. acute and severe head pain require immediate treatment because it is a symptom of dangerous diseases, such as diseases of the blood vessels of the brain (stroke, thrombosis, malignant hypertension), brain infection (meningitis, encephalitis, abscess) and carbon monoxide poisoning.
