Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Huang Shichang
The symptoms of brain tumors are complex and varied, mainly including:
1. Headache: Persistent headaches that may worsen over time, particularly severe in the morning, could be an early sign of a brain tumor.
2. Vision problems: Vision loss, visual field defects, double vision, etc., related to compression of the optic nerve by the tumor.
3. Vomiting: Projectile vomiting, often indicating increased intracranial pressure caused by a brain tumor.
4. Mental disorders: Mood swings, irritability, anxiety, memory loss, confusion, and other cognitive disturbances.
5. Functional impairments: Disorders of movement, sensation, language, and other functions, such as limb weakness, numbness, and slurred speech.
6. Seizures: Brain tumors may interfere with neuronal activity in the brain and trigger seizures.
