Usually, cancer appears and develops silently, without showing any feeling of pain, this is the reason why it is difficult to diagnose. Cancer itself is not painful, it can cause pain only if it causes pressure or any disorder in some parts of the body. Dr. Slavica Kraleva, oncologist at the "Acibadem Sistina" clinical hospital, explains that the pain appears when the tumor or metastases come into contact or if they penetrate into any sensitive part of the body. What does the appearance of pain depend on? The appearance of pain usually appears from the location of the tumor. Some cancers cause pain early in their appearance, while other types of cancer cause pain when they have reached an advanced stage of the disease.
Patients often associate the appearance of Brazil Email List pain with the spread of cancer or the recurrence of the disease. You should not forget that the intensity of the pain is not always related to the advancement of the cancer and the effectiveness of the treatment, since even small tumors that cause pressure on a nerve can cause intense pain, while large tumors which are found in a more spacious space, may not cause any pain. Physical and emotional disorders Pain as a result of cancer can cause physical and emotional disorders, disorders that can negatively affect cancer treatment, cause fatigue, loss of appetite and insomnia. Patients should inform their doctor immediately if they feel pain, or if their pain becomes more intense, so that the cause of the pain can be determined as soon as possible.
Often, pain is defined by its duration. Acute and chronic pain Acute pain lasts for a short time (a few hours to a few weeks). It appears suddenly and its intensity varies. An example of this type of pain is pain caused by any treatment, by any diagnostic method or it can be caused by side effects as a result of the treatment received. This type of pain disappears immediately after removing the cause that caused the pain. Chronic pain lasts for weeks, months or even longer. It can be constantly present or it can disappear and appear with different intensity. The cause of pain in cancer patients can be the cancer itself, certain medical interventions, examinations, the treatment used to cure the cancer, as well as the side effects from the application of the treatment.
