Hidden brain tumors, what are the high-risk factors for brain tumors?

There may be no compression symptoms in the early stages of a tumor. As the tumor grows, it often manifests clinically with varying degrees of compression symptoms. The tumor grows at different speeds depending on where it grows and how malignant it is. So what are the high-risk factors for brain tumors?

Four high-risk factors for brain tumors

1. Chemical factors: Basic research has confirmed that the occurrence of brain tumors is related to exposure to pesticides, solvents, dyes and formaldehyde. In addition, pregnant mothers' prenatal exposure to alcohol, hair dyes, etc. may increase the risk of their children developing neuroblastoma.

2. Radiation factors: Exposure to radiation can lead to the occurrence of brain tumors. Children with acute lymphocytic leukemia who receive preventive radiotherapy of the central nervous system may increase the risk of astrocytoma and malignant glioma; gliomas are often detected after radiotherapy of pituitary adenomas; radiation can also induce meningioma.

3. Radiation from mobile phones and computers: The radiation waves emitted by mobile phones and computers can promote cell canceration. Foreign studies have confirmed that people who use mobile phones for more than 10 years have an 80% higher risk of developing brain tumors than others.

4. Traumatic factors: Tumors are caused by external trauma stimulating the scar tissue between the brain and meninges. This type of traumatic tumor mostly occurs on the basis of damage to the dura mater and arachnoid mater. In addition, brain trauma can accelerate the growth of existing brain tumors.

Top 10 signs of a brain tumor

Brain tumors can occur in various parts of the brain. Their symptoms vary, but they are all related to damage to the nervous system.

1. Headache: often manifested as deep dull pain or bloating, which recurs for a long time without relief.

2. Nausea and vomiting: often projectile and with no obvious connection to diet.

3. Dizziness: obvious when sitting or standing, often accompanied by vomiting.

8. Loss of the ability to express oneself in language or inability to understand language.

9. Young people may experience amenorrhea, lactation, enlargement of hands, feet and face, and sexual dysfunction.

10. Children experience abnormal rapid growth in height, obesity, vision impairment that cannot be corrected by glasses, and especially obvious underdevelopment of sexual organs.
