- What symptoms should prompt a visit to a physician?
You should visit a physician if you experience any of the following symptoms:
Early morning headaches
Vision disturbances, such as double vision or blurring
Seizures or repeated fits
Difficulty focusing on objects or concentrating on tasks
Difficulty walking, swaying to one side, or weakness in the limbs
Slurred speech
- How is a brain tumor diagnosed?
A brain tumor is diagnosed through imaging scans. A CT scan or MRI is needed to detect any structural abnormalities in the brain. Only after these scans can a definitive diagnosis be made.
- What causes brain tumors?
The exact cause of brain tumors is unknown. However, ionizing radiation is a significant risk factor. Elderly individuals, particularly those above 80 years, also have a higher risk. While a healthy lifestyle and habits may reduce the risk, there is no specific reason why a person develops a brain tumor.
- How long does it take to detect a brain tumor?
The detection time varies based on the patient's age and the tumor's location. In children, symptoms may present later, and parents need to be vigilant. Tumors in indolent areas of the brain may not show symptoms early, whereas tumors in sensitive areas cause quicker symptom onset.
- What are the treatment options for brain tumors?
The primary treatment for brain tumors is surgery. For certain benign conditions, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) may be used, which involves focused radiation. However, surgery is the main treatment for most brain tumors.
