Brain tumor is the process where the cells grow abnormally in the human brain. This health issue affects both children and adults. Some may not even be cancerous, that's why they are called benign, but it affects each individual's ability to function well. It slowly develops in our brain but doesn't spread to other vital tissues. It can only be removed through surgery. After the doctor carries out the operation successfully, it may not appear again. It is safe to visit the hospital. If it's left untreated, it can damage the brain.

Symptoms

Brain tumors bring different kinds of symptoms to people of all ages. These symptoms include the following:

• Confusion: People with this symptom will start to experience confusion on how to accomplish certain tasks.

• Memory loss: They will not be able to remember certain things they have done in the past or things that are presently happening.

• Inability to walk: Parts of the body, especially legs, can be so weak to the extent that they will not be able to move.

• Headache: People with this symptom may find it difficult to sleep at night and may keep worsening when they wake up in the morning.

• Difficulty in hearing: They hardly hear what others are saying or discussions that are going on.

Causes

Certain causes of brain tumors are still unknown. Parents who have brain tumors can pass them to their children through DNA changes. That's how a person can inherit this health issue when the doctor asks them about their family history.

As people grow older, they may be more likely to have brain tumors that can change their mentality into a negative one. This can start from age 85 and above.

Obesity can also cause brain tumors. People who live abroad, as well as those in Africa, have a high risk of having this health condition.

Treatment

After the doctor diagnoses the brain tumor, treatment will begin. These health issues can vary in size and type. Surgery is the most common treatment, involving the removal of the tumor easily without damaging other organs. It is more effective to combine surgery with other therapies such as chemotherapy and radiation.

Conclusion

It's advisable to visit a healthcare professional to help you live a healthier life by using modern equipment to help locate where the symptoms are situated. I would like to invite @mesola, @josepha and @wuddi to participate in this contest.
