What are the early symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma?

Symptom 1: There are many symptoms in the early stage of nasopharyngeal cancer. It is more common that nasopharyngeal cancer occurs on the lateral wall of nasopharynx, and it also occurs in the lateral fossa or the opening of the eustachian tube. Sometimes nasopharyngeal carcinoma can also induce catarrhal otitis media.

Symptom 2: If we look closely, we will find that the first symptom of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is headache, about 68.6% of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients will show headache. Sometimes the only symptom of early stage nasopharyngeal cancer is just a headache. The specific location of headache caused by nasopharyngeal carcinoma is not fixed, and the headache is intermittent.

Symptom 3: If nasopharyngeal carcinoma develops to advanced stage, it will easily lead to migraine, and the headache is often persistent and the specific location of the headache can be fixed. In addition, many patients with nasopharyngeal cancer have nasal congestion in the early stage, which is mainly due to direct blockage of nostrils by tumor growth.

Therefore, the correct treatment should be carried out in time after suffering from this disease so as not to delay the disease.
