There is cancer in the lung, how can we find the 'trace' earlier? Doctor: If there are 4 kinds of abnormalities in the upper body, attention should be paid
The occurrence of cancer damages people's health. Among cancers, lung cancer is the largest cancer. Both morbidity and mortality in the population are among the best in cancer. The inadvertent behavior of many people will plant the seeds of lung cancer, which will eventually affect lung cancer. Lung cancer is also tricky, and many people can't find this disease.
There is cancer in the lungs, how can we detect the disease as early as possible and take treatment measures? The doctor said: There is an abnormality in the upper body, which needs to be paid attention to as soon as possible, and traces of the disease may be found.
01. Clubbing finger
The blood circulation in the human body requires the supply of oxygen. When there is cancer in the lungs, it will also affect the oxygen supply in the body. The fingers are located at the end of the blood vessels of the human body, which is more likely to cause hypoxia in the fingers. When there is insufficient oxygen supply in the fingers , It will also be more prone to chronic hypoxia , which will cause abnormal bulge in the front end of the finger, and the nails will also proliferate abnormally , which looks like a drumstick , so it is called " clubbing finger ".
02, chest tightness and chest pain
After the occurrence of lung cancer, more than 50% of lung cancer patients will experience symptoms of chest tightness and chest pain, especially in patients with peripheral lung cancer. The tumor not only affects lung function, but also compresses tissues such as the pleura, causing discomfort to the patient. For long-term chest pain, frequent occurrences should be vigilant, which may be a hint of lung cancer.
In addition, symptoms of chest tightness and chest pain may change from intermittent to frequent as the tumor grows and persist for a long time. The patient may also experience chest and back pain as the pain level increases. This pain is more common at night and the symptoms are worse.
03. Shoulder pain
Cancer in the lungs and abnormalities in the upper shoulders. After the tumor occurs, it may not only compress the lungs, but also affect the brachial nerves of the human body. , There are dense nerves distributed around the lungs, and the activities of the arms also require conduction from the brachial plexus. When there is cancer in the lungs, the location of the tumor compresses the brachial nerve, causing shoulder pain.
This pain may appear intermittently when coughing and breathing, and gradually increase with the increase in activity such as coughing. There will be a pulling pain in the shoulder, but no clear pain point can be found. This makes it possible to differentiate and differentiate between lung cancer and frozen shoulder.
04. Frequent cough, hemoptysis
When lung cancer occurs, the most immediate symptom is a cough. The occurrence of cough is related to the respiratory tract. Lung cancer can stimulate frequent dry coughs in the body. This symptom is common in the early stages of lung cancer. However, as the tumor in the body continues to develop, the dry cough will gradually turn into a phlegm cough. Patients need to secrete sputum to expel toxins produced by the lungs, but may also expel blood from ruptured blood vessels in some tumors, resulting in blood in the coughed up phlegm.
When the cough is not terrible, pay attention to frequent coughing. Dry cough gradually turns into hemoptysis, and slowly from congestion to hemoptysis. At this time, it is necessary to do a lung examination as soon as possible to detect lung cancer.
The doctor said that the early symptoms of lung cancer are few, but when these four abnormalities appear in the upper body, attention should be paid as soon as possible, and lung CT screening should be accepted in time to find out lung cancer as soon as possible.
