        "summary": "A neurosurgeon has cautioned that continuous and intensifying headaches may indicate a brain tumour, distinguishing them from common migraines or tension headaches. The warning highlights that tumour-related pain progressively worsens as the mass grows and increases pressure on the brain. Early medical examination is strongly advised for persistent headaches to avoid complex surgical interventions later.",
        "content": "<p>Headaches are often dismissed as a minor health complaint. However,\nthe public should be vigilant if the pain appears continuously and its\nintensity becomes increasingly severe, as this condition could be an\nindication of a brain tumour. Neurosurgeon Dr.\u00a0Dhira Atman from Columbia\nAsia Hospital Pulomas in East Jakarta explained that headaches are the\nmost standard symptom for brain tumour sufferers. The main difference\nlies in the pattern of pain experienced by the patient. \u201cThe\ncharacteristic feature is that the pain will become progressively worse\nover time, because the lump inside the brain is also getting larger,\u201d\nDhira said in Jakarta on Monday (29\/6\/2026). Dhira elaborated that\nheadaches caused by brain tumours have different characteristics\ncompared to migraines or tension headaches. In migraines, the pain\nusually appears occasionally and can subside before recurring.\nMeanwhile, tension headaches are generally triggered by stress or\nfatigue and improve after rest. \u201cConversely, headaches due to brain\ntumours are continuous. The mass inside the head grows larger over time,\nso the pressure on the brain also increases,\u201d he explained. He added\nthat small brain tumours often develop without causing significant\ncomplaints, which leads many patients to seek medical help only when the\ntumour has grown large and is significantly compressing brain tissue.\n\u201cThe larger the tumour when it is found, the more complex the surgical\nprocedure will be,\u201d Dhira stated. He urged the public to undergo\nimmediate medical examination if they experience persistent headaches,\nespecially if the frequency and intensity of the pain continue to\nincrease over time.<\/p>",
