7. Speech problems
A brain tumor may cause speech problems due to motor, coordination, or reasoning difficulties. It happens when cells in the brain grow as a mass without selling to other parts of the body. This growth can disrupt the brain’s normal functioning and cause speech-related issues. People with benign brain tumors can experience problems pronouncing words or even understanding what they hear. Sometimes, they can lose the ability to speak, resulting in a complete loss of speech.
It can also cause seizures and memory loss, indirectly affecting speech. It is important to note that benign brain tumors do not always cause speech problems, but if noticed, these symptoms should be taken seriously. Early diagnosis and treatment are key in ensuring the best possible outcome.
These speech issues are not always permanent and can be treated with the help of speech therapy and other treatments. Individuals affected by benign brain tumors can work with speech-language pathologists to overcome their communication difficulties. With the right therapeutic intervention, many individuals can regain complete communication skills.
