How to diagnose nasopharyngeal carcinoma early and what are its symptoms?

(1) Cervical lymphadenopathy. This is the most common symptom. Patients often inadvertently touch a lump on the neck, or look in the mirror and find that the necks on both sides are asymmetrical. Masses are often hard and painless, which affects activities. It has the characteristics of early transfer and high transfer rate.

(2) contraction of nosebleeds. After inhaling nasal cavity, especially after getting up in the morning, spitting blood from the mouth is one of the early symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

(3) Tinnitus or hearing loss. It's just that my ears are buzzing or deaf, and my hearing is worse than before.

(4) headache. It is characterized by occipital or temporal pain, often dull pain.

(5) nasal congestion. The tumor blocks the posterior nostril or invades the nasal cavity, resulting in poor ventilation of the nasal cavity.

(6) facial numbness. Caused by tumor invading trigeminal nerve, it can cause hypoesthesia, hyperalgesia or anodynia.

(7) diplopia. I can't see clearly. There's a double image.

(8) Deviation of tongue extension. When the tongue sticks out to one side, the dominant hypoglossal nerve is invaded.

(10) exophthalmos. Exophthalmos may be caused by tumor invading the back of eyeball.
