Oncology: Indigestion symptoms may indicate liver cancer

0

Cancer can be more common in people who already have liver disease, so it is important to be vigilant in such cases. The NHS says liver cancer can have no symptoms or be difficult to detect. He notes that symptoms are the same whether liver cancer starts in the liver or spreads from another part of the body.

It's important to get checked for any symptoms of liver cancer as soon as possible.

The Mayo Clinic reports that most people have no signs or symptoms in the early stages of primary liver cancer.

When signs and symptoms appear, they may include:

• Weight loss without effort
• Loss of appetite
• Pain in the upper abdomen
• General weakness and quick fatigue
• Abdominal bloating
• Yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes

Other symptoms may affect your digestion, such as:

• Nausea

< li>Pain in the upper right side of the abdomen or right shoulder

• Indigestion symptoms such as feeling full very quickly when eating
• Very distended abdomen that is not related to when you eat

Many symptoms are very common and can be caused by different conditions.

“Having them does not necessarily mean you have liver cancer. But it is important to have them checked by a general practitioner. If they are caused by cancer, early detection makes it more curable.”
