What can you do for yourself?
Let’s clear something from the beginning, cancer mouth develops in an anatomical area where it can be diagnosed early, and controlled in a high percentage of cases. It is therefore a failure for any system of health each escape injury that early diagnosis.
Early diagnosis is crucial for treatment to be effective and the complexity and the magnitude thereof is reduced. There are two ways to achieve this. A, professional oral exam paper with a frequency determined by the factors of (the most important man smoking over 40 years, reviewed every six months) individual risk and self-oral examination, which is the monthly and systematic exploration by oneself in the mouth, it is not a substitute but complementary newspaper exam.
It should be clear that the best is the bar exam, as well by the self is made certain regions of the oral cavity and the posterior third of the tongue, soft palate and tonsils are difficult to self-explore. Now, with regard to the lips, gums, cheeks, anterior floor of the mouth and small areas that are behind the wisdom teeth can be examined fairly accurately.
Although the oral self-examination is a method designed to detect oral cancer also discovered other alterations, is in fact what usually happens, as during the self-other problems that needed professional supervision or treatment to maintain health are revealed. The systematic self-examination makes a person become familiar or self-training increasingly over time increases the experience and ability to recognize variations of normal structures in the mouth in this way gaining efficiency until it reaches recognize any change in normal very early.
The self is mainly focused on detecting signs of alarm calls. These are bumps, sores, red spots or plaques, bleeding, pus, slightly sore spots and calluses located.
What if you find any sign of alarm? First do not be alarmed because the vast majority of the time this will be noncancerous pathological significance and low conditions, but if you’ve detected cancer, then it would be emerging, high cure possibilities and also with little or no conservative treatments deforming.
What you caught yourself some time …. (That just did the self, felicitate by your skill) now, the doctor immediately to make you a professional review and make the necessary studies to establish the diagnosis accurately.
Remember this well, I have learned in many years of medical practice, if a cancer is detected what you will about it too much, do not go to mess up because you’re scared and stupidly difieras doctor’s visit, minutes count for Conservative treatment is as effective as possible and. Remember that most cancers of the mouth heal so you are going to die one day, like everyone else, but something else. By the way, if you learn to do to help me about it.
