8 Common Symptoms Of Brain Tumors

8 Common Symptoms Of Brain Tumors
2
Brain tumors occur when abnormal cells accumulate
in the brain. They can be cancerous (malignant)
or unlikely to spread (benign). Since there is a
limited amount of space in the brain, even a
non-cancerous tumor can cause problems.
3
Brain tumors can interfere with brain and body
function, increase inflammation, elevate skull
pressure, and destroy brain cells, which leads to
neurodegenerative disease. Tumors can form from
cells directly in your brain or from cells in
other parts of your body. Here are some common
symptoms to be aware of.
4
People who experience progressive vision loss may
not even be aware of it, which makes it hard to
associate with a brain tumor.
8. Gradual Vision Loss
5

• A sign of impaired peripheral vision is when a
  person keeps bumping into things on the side of
  the body in which the tumor is located.

6

• According to Doctor Christopher Carrubba at Med
  School Tutors, We often see this symptom with
  pituitary tumors that compress the optic chiasm,
  or part of the visual pathway.

7
A brain tumor might affect the manner in which
youre able to control your muscles. Even if you
do not experience muscle pain, your muscles might
not respond to your command to move.
7. Muscle Weakness
8

• Tumors along the right and left motor complex
  disrupt the signal your brain sends to your
  muscles, which can result in a complete loss of
  function.

9

• Talk to your doctor if you have trouble moving
  any particular part of your body as this might be
  a sign of a brain tumor.

6. Slurred Speech

• When a tumor is present in the brain, it may
  affect your ability to speak or make sounds.
  Doctor Carrubba said, Language problems such as
  stuttering, difficulty naming objects or
  understanding what others are saying are key
  symptoms of a tumor in the frontal or temporal
  lobes, areas of the brain associated with motor
  function of speech and language comprehension.

11
There are two speech centers in the brain that
are located on the left sideWernickes area,
which allows us to understand and comprehend
speech, and Brocas area, which activates the
muscles that create sound.
12
5. Psychiatric Problems

• A brain tumor affecting the frontal lobe may
  have an impact on a persons behavior. They may
  become overly aggressive or sexual, or exhibit
  anger and agitation. Doctor Sumeet Vadera,
  Neurosurgeon at the University of
  California-Irvine, said,

13
Patients suffering from a brain tumor may
develop depression, anger or anxiety, even if
they dont commonly exhibit these types of
emotions. This is related to tumor irritation or
compression of portions of the frontal lobe,
which is responsible for many of our personality
traits.

4. Ear Ringing

• The area of your brain responsible for
  processing your ability to hear is called the
  temporal lobe. It is located at the bottom middle
  part of the cortex behind your temples. Tinnitus
  occurs when you hear a constant ringing. It may
  develop when a tumor is pressing on your temporal
  lobe.

15
If you experience hearing loss or a constant
ringing, it is time to make an appointment with
your doctor to see if your symptoms are severe
enough to meet with a neurologist.
16
3. Imbalance

• The brain plays a major role in balance and
  coordination. Loss of motor function can be due
  to a brain tumor located in the cerebellum, or
  the area of the brain that controls coordination
  and balance. If you suddenly find it hard to walk
  or balance, especially in the dark, it is a good
  idea to see a doctor. Motor function affects your
  ability to walk straight, so if you are leaning
  toward one side, this may also be a sign of a
  tumor.

17
2. Headaches

• Although headaches are extremely common and
  could be the result of many different factors,
  you should be aware of any new headaches that
  develop daily for no apparent reason. According
  to Doctor Mike Chen at the Department of
  Neurosurgery at City of Hope, These headaches
  tend to get worse over time and are often present
  when you wake up in the morning when intracranial
  pressure is high from lying in bed for hour-long
  periods of time.

18
1. Infertility

• A pea-sized portion of the brain located at the
  base called the pituitary gland is responsible
  for producing hormones that may affect fertility.
  According to Doctor Chen, Tumors affecting the
  pituitary gland can secrete high amounts of
  hormones or prevent the normal gland from
  working.

19
A woman who experiences a brain tumor may not be
able to conceive or produce milk after giving
birth. Likewise, a male with a brain tumor may
lack certain hormones needed to reproduce.
