glioma meaning - #18198

Doctor, I’ve recently been reading more about brain tumors, and I came across the term glioma. I’ve heard it mentioned in medical discussions, but I’m not entirely clear on what it is or what causes it. I know it involves abnormal cell growth in the brain, but I’m wondering more about the specifics. From what I understand, glioma is a type of tumor that starts in the glial cells of the brain, but I’m not sure how common it is or what types there are. What exactly is glioma? I’ve read that there are different grades of gliomas, such as low-grade and high-grade, but I’m unclear on how they differ in terms of severity and prognosis. Is it true that high-grade gliomas tend to be more aggressive, and how do doctors determine the grade of a glioma? I’m also curious about the symptoms of glioma. How do they vary depending on the location and size of the tumor? I know that symptoms can include headaches, nausea, and seizures, but are there any specific warning signs I should be looking out for? If someone has a glioma, how is it diagnosed? Are there tests, such as MRIs or biopsies, that doctors use to confirm the diagnosis? From an Ayurvedic perspective, how does Ayurveda view the development of glioma and brain tumors in general? I’ve heard that Pitta dosha is associated with inflammation, heat, and cellular metabolism—could an imbalance in Pitta be contributing to the formation of tumors? Are there any Ayurvedic herbs or treatments that can help reduce inflammation in the brain and prevent the growth of tumors? For example, would herbs like Ashwagandha or Turmeric be useful for supporting brain health and reducing tumor growth? Is it possible to combine conventional treatments like surgery or chemotherapy with Ayurvedic remedies for glioma treatment? I want to know how to take a holistic approach to managing my health while dealing with such a serious condition.
