TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Headache, fainting and vomiting are symptoms brain tumor. But there are other symptoms that may not be widely known, such as hearing voices.

Brain tumors have killed more children and adults under 40 than any other type of cancer, according to Brain Tumor Research UK. Here are five uncommon signs of a brain tumor, reported from Mail Online.

Loss of interest in hobbies
You are suddenly not interested in pursuing a hobby. It could be a symptom of a brain tumor. This is experienced by one in three sufferers. Tumor which increases in size can suppress the surrounding cells. If it develops in the frontal lobe, the area that controls emotions, personality and behavior, sufferers can even act strangely.

Hormonal surge
The tumor affects the pituitary gland which is in charge of producing hormones. The tumor affects the small glands in the brain so they produce more hormones. As a result, people also experience rapid growth or enlargement of their limbs, not only children but also adults. The enlarged body parts are usually the feet, hands and lower jaw.

Forgetful
Forgetting to do daily tasks like locking the door and turning off the stove is commonly referred to as a symptom of Alzheimer’s. But, it could also be a symptom of a brain tumor. The reason is that many areas of the brain store various memories, so it is quite difficult to determine which cause of forgetting is caused by a brain tumor.

Blurry vision
Blurred vision even when wearing glasses can be a sign of a brain tumor. If the tumor presses on the optic nerve, vision will be affected. As a result, sufferers walk in a daze or bump into something.

Hear voices
The feeling of hearing random things or sounds sometimes indicates a certain mental state. However, it could also be a symptom of a brain tumor. Hallucinations of sound that can occur if a tumor grows in the temporal lobe, part of the brain brain producing sound, understanding language, and recognizing memory. Tumors in that section can also cause difficulty hearing and speaking.

Brain tumor is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and it occurs when cells multiply in the brain the brain It grows in an abnormal and uncontrollable way. According to the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, there are more than 150 different brain tumors, classified into two main groups: primary and metastatic brain tumors, according to the “Times of India” website.

Primary and secondary brain tumors

According to the Mayo Clinic, some brain tumors are benign and noncancerous, while some brain tumors can be malignant.

Tumors that start and grow in the brain are called primary brain tumors. These differ from tumors that spread to the brain from other parts of the body, also called secondary brain tumors.

Common symptoms of a brain tumor

Symptoms of a brain tumor may vary, depending on the location of the tumor, says the UK’s National Health Service (NHS). However, some common symptoms include: – Headache. On one side of the body – problems with vision or speech.

Signs appear near the final weeks in the development of a brain tumor

said the researchers at the University of California

Brain tumor patients tend to develop a large and progressive neurological symptom burden in the last weeks of life.

Drowsiness or loss of consciousness is one of the most frequently reported symptoms in the last weeks of a patient with a brain tumor.

Lethargy, confusion, and day/night reflectivity are often early signs of decreased levels of consciousness. Somnolence and lethargy progress and tend to increase markedly in the last week of life.

Eventually, the patient goes into a deep coma for the last few days.

Glioblastoma risks

There are more than 150 types of brain tumors. However, glioblastoma is said to be the most aggressive type of primary brain cancer in adults.

Glioblastoma is cancer that arises from rapidly growing cells in the brain or spinal cord that can invade and destroy healthy tissue.

Glioblastoma is formed from cells called astrocytes that support nerve cells.

Glioblastoma can occur at any age.

Early diagnosis is key

If you suspect a brain tumor or notice any neurological changes, have yourself examined by a healthcare professional, preferably a neurologist.

A neurological exam, CT scan of the head, MRI of the brain, PET scan of the brain, or biopsy are some ways to detect a brain tumor.

Because brain tumors and cancer are less likely to spread, they do not have stages like other cancers. However, early treatment is key to survival.
