Early symptoms of esophageal cancer:

Therefore, when you encounter the above phenomena, it is best to go to the hospital to check what the specific disease is. If it is esophageal cancer, there is no need to be too sad. I believe that with the progress of medicine, we will have comprehensive treatment.

2. Difficulty swallowing food

Normal people do not feel any strange sensation in their throats when eating food. However, once people have esophageal cancer, they will feel great discomfort and difficulty swallowing when swallowing food.

Therefore, the patient at this time feels obvious discomfort in the esophagus, especially when swallowing.

3. Tightness and dryness of the throat

When people are thirsty and dehydrated, as long as they replenish the appropriate amount of water, the discomfort will disappear. However, patients with esophageal cancer will always have this feeling no matter how they replenish water.

Therefore, if you feel your throat tightening, you should be alert to the possibility of esophageal cancer and go to the hospital for a checkup as soon as possible.

4. Pain when swallowing food

Patients with esophageal cancer will feel particularly strong pain in the pharynx in the early stages, whether eating or drinking, as long as there is a swallowing action. This is also similar to the symptoms of tonsillitis.

When this phenomenon occurs, people who are not familiar with esophageal cancer will first take anti-inflammatory drugs at home to relieve the symptoms. However, they do not know that such treatment methods are completely useless. Therefore, if you encounter similar phenomena, it is best to go to the hospital for examination first.
