Is it easy to get a brain tumor if you play with your phone for a long time? Is it related to the radiation from the phone? People who love playing with their phones may want to read this

Recently, a 37-year-old man suffered from dizziness for four years. He always thought it was caused by cervical spondylosis because he had been playing with his mobile phone and working at a desk with his head down for a long time. He treated it for cervical spondylosis for a period of time, but the effect was not ideal. After further examination, he found that his dizziness was not caused by cervical spondylosis, but a brain tumor! Does it mean that playing with mobile phones for a long time can easily cause brain tumors? What is going on? How much do you know about the harm of playing with mobile phones for a long time to your body? Let's talk about it with everyone below, especially those who have this habit are recommended to see it early.

Is long-term use of mobile phones related to brain tumors?

Many people may believe it because mobile phones have radiation and long-term exposure to radiation has a great impact on people's health. However, as to whether mobile phone radiation can cause brain tumors, there is a lot of controversy. At present, there is no conclusive evidence to show that playing with mobile phones can cause brain tumors.

Although the World Health Organization has included mobile phone radio waves in the list of possible carcinogens, and some studies have found that the electromagnetic field generated by mobile phone use may increase the risk of brain tumors, and long-term use of mobile phones is associated with the risk of gliomas. However, we cannot draw this conclusion yet. The relationship between mobile phone use and brain tumors can only be said to be at the "possible" level.

Therefore, we cannot easily conclude that "playing with mobile phones for a long time will cause brain tumors." In addition, some people have heard that placing mobile phones on the bedside will increase the risk of brain tumors. This is actually a rumor. Regardless of whether the mobile phone is turned on or off, generally speaking, the radiation is very small and will not cause such serious consequences. It's just that if you put your mobile phone on the bedside, many people may not be able to resist playing with it, which will affect sleep and is not good for health. If you are used to playing while charging, it may also cause safety problems.

However, we would like to remind you that although normal use of mobile phones generally does not have a big impact on health, if you use it for a long time every day and carry it close to your body, it may cause radiation accumulation over time, causing certain impacts on your health and posing hidden dangers. It is recommended that you do the following when using your mobile phone:

Reduce the time you spend on your phone every day.

When carrying a mobile phone, it is best to put it in a bag rather than in your pockets, especially those close to your heart or on the sides of your legs.

Don’t play with your mobile phone before going to bed, especially in the dark, and try to put it as far away as possible when sleeping.

How much do you know about brain tumors?

Regarding its cause, in some brain tumor patients, there is a tendency for multiple people in a family to suffer from the disease, which may have certain genetic factors. In addition, if you are exposed to ionizing radiation and carcinogens for a long time in your life, the risk will also increase.

Headache is an early physical manifestation of brain tumor, but other diseases can also cause headache. For example, this young man thought that his headache for so long was caused by cervical spondylosis, but he didn't expect it was caused by brain tumor. What is the difference between the headaches caused by these two diseases?

Headaches caused by brain tumors are usually more obvious in the morning. As the disease progresses, the pain will worsen and last longer, making it difficult to relieve. If it occurs in the brain, the pain is usually more obvious in the forehead, and if it occurs in the cerebellum, the pain is more obvious in the head and neck.

If the headache is caused by cervical spondylosis, it usually hurts on one side, extending from the neck to the back of the head. In addition, the causes of these two types of headaches are also different. This type of headache is caused by nerve irritation and compression, not a tumor.

If you have long-term headaches that gradually worsen and the real cause cannot be found, it is recommended that you consider a brain tumor and get checked out as soon as possible instead of treating it as cervical spondylosis.

In addition to headaches, brain tumors may also cause the following symptoms. Pay attention to them. If they occur frequently, it is best to screen them in time for safety reasons:

Decreased vision – Brain tumors can cause increased pressure within the skull, which can affect normal vision.

Vomiting - this is also related to increased intracranial pressure.

Epilepsy - Most patients with brain tumors have symptoms of epilepsy, some of which are localized and some are systemic.

In summary, there is no necessary relationship between playing with mobile phones and brain tumors. At present, we can only say that there may be a certain correlation. The radiation from normal use of mobile phones will not bring adverse effects. However, we would like to remind everyone that long-term use of mobile phones, especially using mobile phones in the wrong posture, has many adverse effects on health. In addition, we should pay more attention to the symptoms of brain tumors, especially headaches. If they do not heal for a long time, we need to be vigilant.
