    Xiao Ming has been busy with work recently, * When he was in the neck, he accidentally touched a swollen piece on the left back, he didn't care, thinking that it was just a hardening of the shoulder and neck caused by too hot weather and too busy work, and he should rest more. But a few months later, the lump became larger and he began to have tinnitus, so he went to the hospital for an examination and found out that he was suffering from nasopharyngeal cancer, which caused cervical lymphoma.

    ** Enlargement is a warning sign of cancer cells!

    The nasopharynx is located behind the nasal cavity, above the throat, about the center of the head, and when the respiratory or dietary bacteria are hidden, they will be filtered through the hypophoblastic fissure system in the neck, so if the nasopharynx becomes cancerous, it may spread to the back through lymphoid tissue, causing the upper neck to swell.

    However, this kind of lymphoma is usually **, although it is already a warning sign of cancer cell metastasis, but it is easy to ignore, at this time, if left unchecked, the tumor of the nasopharynx will continue to grow to both sides, compressing the middle ear cavity, and otitis media, hydrops in the ear cavity, hard of hearing or tinnitus will appear; If the tumor continues to grow, it will cause nasal congestion, bloody nasal discharge, etc.

    If you have an enlarged neck, first see an otolaryngology

    The lymphatic system is the body's most important immune system, and there are hundreds of lymph nodes of various sizes in the neck alone, which are responsible for filtering out invading germs. Enlarged cervical lymph nodes do not necessarily represent cancer, and may also be an allergic reaction, but if the lump is particularly hard to the touch, does not slide and does not hurt, and is arranged like the joints of the four fingers of a fist, it may be nasopharyngeal metastasis.

    The nasopharynx is close to the base of the skull, and if the tumor grows up and backwards, it may compress the central nervous system and twelve pairs of cranial nerves, causing blindness, drooping eyelids, facial paralysis, and headache on half of the side; If it invades the oral cavity and tonsils, it will be difficult to swallow and breathe, and there are a few patients with swollen lymph nodes in the neck, but there are no additional symptoms, so it is best to seek medical attention as soon as possible when the neck is swollen.

    In clinical practice, 8 percent of cervical lymphoma is the metastasis of otolaryngology cancer cells, and the first time you should go to the otolaryngology department for examination, do not do tumor resection by yourself, not only easy to get clean, but also may leave the root of the disease.

    Nasopharyngeal carcinoma can indeed be caused.

    However, other common inflammations can still cause swollen lymph nodes.

    So how do you tell the difference?

    Lymph nodes do not become inflamed and swollen for no reason, they are all caused by inflammation (such as inflammation, wounds, etc.) in their vicinity. If there is this inflammation nearby, then the disease of the lymph node is ordinary lymphadenitis. Staying up late to work and anxiety can also be caused by anger (lymphadenitis in the submandibular and neck is mostly caused by inflammation of the mouth, nose and pharynx).

    In addition, if you push it with your fingers, if it has good mobility, and if the lymph node is not adhered to the surrounding ** and muscles, it is also lymphadenitis. It's not lymph node tuberculosis, and it's not a big disease like cancer or tumor that you are worried about, and you don't need to do such and such instrument examinations. The distinction between common lymphatic diseases and lymphoma can also be distinguished from the length of time:

    Lymphadenitis and lymph node tuberculosis can exist for many years, but the support time of lymphoma will not last long (the respectable and amiable Luo Jing, the country's top expert consultation**, from the onset of the disease to the death of only 10 months. )

    Lymph node regularity: Wherever there is inflammation in the body, the adjacent lymph nodes will swell when they are defended and sterilized. After the inflammation is cured, the lymph nodes may not be better.

    Lymph nodes, which are the immune system, are difficult to treat, and some chronic lymphadenitis can last for several years or more than ten years.

    If the lymphadenopathy is mild, after a while, it will naturally get better; Or take some anti-inflammatory drugs in the ordinary sense, and take some anti-inflammatory injections, it will be fine. That's not a big deal. But if the swelling is severe, and the inflammation is not healed for a long time, then you need traditional Chinese medicine**:

    One is to avoid its further aggravation and deterioration, and the other is that the body needs to restore its function, exert its immune bactericidal effect, and enhance physical fitness.

    Lymphatic diseases seem to be a small disease, but so far the effects of drugs produced in hospitals and pharmaceutical factories have not been satisfactory. Chinese medicine can be fully considered. It is treated with traditional Chinese medicine pills that dispel stasis and dissolve knots, detoxify and reduce swelling, and target pimples, lumps and inflammation.

    If you find the right one, it will not be difficult. Due to my work, the author is well aware of the charm of traditional Chinese medicine, and has witnessed a large number of typical cases of lymphadenitis and lymph node tuberculosis that have been treated by traditional Chinese medicine, which has verified the uniqueness of traditional Chinese medicine in the motherland.

    Hello! A lump in the nasopharynx is not necessarily nasopharyngeal cancer, there are many other possibilities, and the doctor does not say that it may be because it has not yet been diagnosed, and further examination is needed to know. So don't think about it now, go to the hospital for a recheck, no matter what the situation is, you can get it early.

    Nasopharyngeal masses are generally common in the following ways:

    1) Lymphoid tissue proliferation. This is relatively common and should be distinguished from cancer.

    2) Nasopharyngeal tuberculosis. Nasopharyngeal tuberculosis can be easily confused with cancer. Differentiation is based on pathologic examination.

    3) Benign tumors. Nasopharyngeal fibrohemangiomas are common, and there is often a history of recurrent epistaxis. The diagnosis of the tumor is mainly based on clinical experience, after surgical removal, send to pathology for confirmation, and do not do biopsy before surgery to avoid serious bleeding.

    4) Other malignant tumors. Such as malignant lymphoma, chordoma, etc. The diagnosis of this type of tumor is mainly based on pathological diagnosis.

    In addition, life protection is very effective in preventing nasopharyngeal cancer, and you can choose life protection according to your own situation to enhance immunity and inhibit cancer cells.

The number of metastatic lumps in the neck of nasopharyngeal rock cancer is not large, the increase is rapid, the texture is hard and non-tender, the mobility is poor, and the advanced stage is fixed due to adhesion and fusion.

    Spanspan nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma cancer spreads to the cranial area through the rupture hole, often invading the cranial nerve first, resulting in facial numbness, diplopia, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, strabismus, ocular fixation, blindness, etc. Metastatic lymph nodes in the deep neck may also compress the posterior cranial nerves that penetrate the base of the skull, resulting in hypoesthesia in the throat, soft palate paralysis, dysphagia, hoarseness, and tongue protrusion.

    Swollen lymph nodes in the neck are the most common symptom of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Patients often inadvertently feel a lump in their neck, or when they look in the mirror and notice that the sides of the neck are asymmetrical, or someone else notices a lump. The lump is often hard, not painful to the touch, and has poor mobility.

    This enlargement of the lymph nodes tends to start in the upper part of the neck and continues to develop from top to bottom if left untreated. It may be an enlarged lymph node on one side, or it may be an enlarged lymph node on both sides. As the disease progresses to an advanced stage, lymph nodes can also metastasize to the supraclavicular bone, and even the armpits, mediastinum, retroperitoneum, and inguinal lymph nodes may become enlarged.

    Every year, some patients with nasopharyngeal cancer lose their lives, so we should also understand the disease of nasopharyngeal cancer in time, so as to help us detect the disease in time, nasopharyngeal cancer always has some obvious symptoms in the early stage of detection, especially the patient will be accompanied by cervical lymphadenopathy, and patients may also have tinnitus, nasal congestion and bleeding and other symptoms.

    Some celebrities have lost their lives because of nasopharyngeal cancer, which makes the patient's family very painful, so everyone should know about nasopharyngeal cancer in time, so that we can prevent this disease, not only to protect our own health, but also to ensure the happiness of our lives, so what are the symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer accompanied by cervical lymphoma in the early stage?

    First, the patient's neck lymph nodes will have some enlargement, and there will be some lumps on one or both sides of the patient's neck, many people mistake these conditions for lymph node tuberculosis or lymphadenitis, so they often enter the **misunderstanding at the time, thus delaying the disease, and because of this situation, some patients lose their lives. Second, tinnitus and ear tightness, there is a lumen between the nasopharynx and the ear, this channel is called the eustachian tube, when the nasopharyngeal tumor will compress the eustachian tube, which may make the patient's ear blocked, so the patient's hearing will decline, resulting in tinnitus symptoms, which seriously affects the patient's life and work.

    Thirdly, patients may also have persistent headaches, which can be caused by nasopharyngeal cancer tumors, which can also destroy the bone at the base of the skull or compress the nerves and blood vessels.

    Fourth, there will be some symptoms in the eye, because some of the nerves that innervate the activity of the eye are passed from the front and top of the nasopharynx, when the disease compresses these nerves, it may make the patient have double vision, and the eye activity will also be restricted. We should go to the hospital in time to receive examinations and diseases, so that we can detect diseases and diseases at an early stage, which is also very helpful for our health.
