Introduction
Early signs of lung cancer in women include coughing, chest tightness, and chest pain. Specifically: lung cancer is a malignant disease, possibly caused by long-term unhealthy habits such as smoking. When cancer cells invade the patient's bronchus, they can irritate the affected area, causing venous constriction in the trachea and subsequently triggering coughing. If the lung tumor develops close to the airway, it may also cause similar symptoms.
Early signs of lung cancer in women include coughing, chest tightness, and chest pain. The details are as follows:
1. Coughing
Lung cancer is a malignant disease, possibly caused by long-term unhealthy habits such as smoking. When cancer cells invade the bronchus, they can irritate the affected area, causing venous constriction in the trachea and subsequently triggering coughing.
2. Chest tightness
If the lung tumor is located near the airway, its growth may compress the trachea, leading to narrowing of blood vessels and resulting in feelings of chest tightness.
3. Chest pain
Lung cancer can stimulate the pleura (lining of the chest cavity), causing muscle imbalance in the chest area and resulting in chest pain.
In addition to the above, other early warning signs of lung cancer may include swelling (edema), difficulty breathing, and abnormal nerve twitching. If any of these symptoms occur, it is recommended to seek medical attention at a hospital promptly. In daily life, it is advisable to eat light, easily digestible foods and avoid raw, cold, spicy, or irritating foods.
