What causes brain tumors in children?

According to experts' investigation, the number of children suffering from brain tumors has increased in recent years. Brain tumors are malignant diseases, and the degree of damage they cause to the body is only lower than that of leukemia. Although any group of people may be susceptible to the disease, the highest incidence rate is in children around five years old. It will increase the intracranial pressure of children, and they will also experience symptoms such as vomiting and headaches. So what is the cause of brain tumors in children?

First, what causes brain tumors in children? One of the reasons for children's brain tumors is radiation from mobile phones and computers. Frequent use of mobile phones and computers can cause brain tumors in children. Every year, at least seven to eight thousand children are diagnosed with brain tumors, and more than 50% of them are malignant tumors. So don’t use your mobile phone or computer too often. If it is necessary for work and cannot be avoided, try not to use your mobile phone or computer for too long.

Second, one of the reasons why children get brain tumors is electromagnetic radiation. Now that living standards have improved, every household has a computer, television, and refrigerator. However, few people know that these all emit electromagnetic radiation. If women often use computers and refrigerators when they are pregnant, they will have a very bad influence on the fetus. Some families are particularly well-off and give their children mobile phones and buy them some electronic products when they are very young. These are all invisible factors that induce brain tumors.

Third, some children cannot accurately express headaches, especially young children. Older children can complain of headaches, but infants and young children cannot clearly explain or express their headaches, which often leads to misunderstanding and neglect by their parents. When children become irritable, keep hitting their heads with both hands, or grab their hair and cry, parents should pay attention, because this may be a special way for children to express headaches. Headaches are very common in adults, but most of them are functional headaches; and organic lesions in children's headaches are significantly higher than those in adults. Therefore, headache symptoms are extremely important for suspected brain tumors in children.

What causes brain tumors in children? The third cause of brain tumors in children is viral infection. We should pay attention to viral infections because if the mother is infected with a virus during pregnancy or just after the baby is born, it is easy for the fetus or newborn to develop a brain tumor. In addition, drug abuse during pregnancy and excessive use of antibiotics on newborns may also cause brain tumors in children.
