Brain tumours are among the most feared diagnoses, but early detection can save lives. Dr. Kapil Patil, a leading neurosurgeon at Vignaharta Hospital in Dhule, explains the warning signs that patients and families must never ignore.
What Is a Brain Tumour?
A brain tumour is an abnormal growth of cells within the brain. It can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Both types can be dangerous because the skull is a fixed space, any growing mass increases pressure on the brain.
Top Warning Signs of a Brain Tumour
- Persistent or worsening headaches, especially in the morning
- Sudden seizures in a person with no prior history
- Unexplained nausea and vomiting without stomach problems
- Vision changes to blurring, double vision, or loss of peripheral vision
- Memory loss or personality changes
- Weakness or numbness in one side of the body
- Difficulty speaking or understanding speech
