How to recognize throat cancer

1. Wart or lump in the throat- If a wart or lump is seen in any part of the throat, one should immediately be alert. This can be a sign of throat cancer. Although it doesn't need to be cancer but the risk of it is high. In this, random bulges start appearing on the skin of the throat.

2. Sores in the mouth- Blisters, boils, and pimples keep appearing in the mouth. People can easily cure them but if there is a sore in the mouth and it does not heal, then it should be considered a danger signal. In such cases, go to the doctor immediately or rather go to the cancer doctor.

3. Blood in phlegm- If blood starts coming out with phlegm, there can be many reasons for this but it can also be a cause of cancer. This can only be known after getting tested. Do not be negligent in such a case and consult a doctor immediately.

4. Loosening of teeth - If there is cancer in the throat or mouth, then the teeth start getting loose. When the teeth start getting loose, one should immediately go to the doctor.

5. Heaviness in voice- If there is extreme cold then there is a slight heaviness in the voice but when the heaviness occurs without it or the heaviness does not go away then it means that throat cancer may have started.

6. Pain while eating- If you have difficulty or pain while eating or swallowing food, then this can also be a sign of cancer. Such cases should not be ignored.

Cause of throat cancer

Dr. Aditya Sarin, consultant in the cancer department at Sir Gangaram Hospital, said that smoking, tobacco and gutkha are responsible for most cases of mouth or throat cancer. In very few cases, genes are responsible. Apart from this, in some cases, there can be environmental reasons. At the same time, alcohol and human papillomavirus (HPV), the virus responsible for warts in the genitals, can also be the reason for this.

Ways to avoid oral cancer

Dr. Aditya Sarin said that to avoid throat or mouth cancer, do not consume tobacco in any form. Consumption of gutkha and betel nuts can also cause cancer. Therefore, do not touch these things. Apart from this, do not drink alcohol. Dr Aditya Sarin said that during sex, oral sex can cause infection with human papilloma virus which can be responsible for throat or mouth cancer. Therefore, practice safe sex.
