Pancreatic cancer can be difficult to detect early because symptoms often appear only after the disease has progressed. The pancreas lies deep inside the abdomen, so early tumors may not cause obvious pain. However, recognizing certain warning signs can help you seek medical attention sooner.
Here are 10 symptoms that should not be ignored:
- Yellowing of the Skin or Eyes (Jaundice)
This is one of the most noticeable signs. It happens when a tumor blocks the bile duct, causing a buildup of bilirubin. - Dark Urine and Pale Stools
Changes in urine and stool color can be linked to bile duct obstruction. - Persistent Upper Abdominal Pain
Pain that may spread to the back and does not go away should be evaluated. - Unexplained Weight Loss
Losing weight without trying can be an early warning sign of several cancers, including pancreatic cancer .For complete cooking times, go to the next page or click the Open button (>), and don’t forget to SHARE with your Facebook friends
