Brain tumor is not a very common cancer, but it is important to know the warning signs to ensure faster diagnosis and treatment

"The skull has no extra space for anything but the brain.

Therefore, as brain tumors develop and spread, they cause additional pressure on this enclosed space.

This is called intracranial pressure.

The increase in intracranial pressure is caused by extra tissue in the brain, as well as by blockage of cerebrospinal fluid flow pathways, ”says Naveen MA, senior consultant for neurosurgery at BGS Gleneagles Global Hospital.

Here are some of the most common symptoms of brain tumors:

Convulsions

Seizures are usually associated with epilepsy, but can also be a sign of a brain tumor.

According to doctors, up to 60% of patients with brain tumors have experienced seizures.

Combines with nausea, vomiting.

If you feel them, it is best to go to the doctor.

Frequent morning headaches

If you have frequent headaches that are worse than usual and no medication seems to alleviate them, it is time to see a doctor.

Changing vision

A sudden change in vision can also be an indication of a brain tumor.

If you suddenly see blurry things or have peripheral vision problems that allow you to see things around you without turning your head, you may need to see a doctor.

Unintelligible speech

Unintelligible talking can be a normal occurrence when you feel lost or lose track of what you are doing.

But if you experience sudden difficulty in reading, writing or your speech becomes blurred, it could be a symptom of a brain tumor.

Personality change

Unfocused or abruptly aggressive posture are rare signs of a brain tumor.

You may experience ambiguities or sudden personality changes.
