Patient's question:
Doctor, my condition hasn't been too good recently. The headache is particularly severe, and I've also experienced nausea again. I went to the hospital for a brain examination, and the result was a glioma in the brainstem. I'd like to understand specifically, how can a benign brainstem glioma be cured? What kind of treatment is required?Doctor's answer:
First, gliomas do not have benign or malignant distinctions; what is referred to as benign is simply that the malignancy level is relatively low. Gliomas are very difficult to cure because they are usually located in the brainstem. Once the brainstem is affected, our nerves are all at risk. Therefore, if nerves are damaged, it is not possible to recover. Nausea may be a sign of increased intracranial pressure. It is essential to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment.
