Gallbladder cancer causes severe pain as the main symptom

Gallbladder cancer is a common cancer in the gallbladder area. It is very harmful to the human body. Early detection is very helpful for treatment. The clinical manifestations of gallbladder cancer are also relatively obvious and easy to detect. So what are the clinical manifestations of gallbladder cancer? The following is a brief introduction:

1. Right upper abdominal pain

Since gallbladder cancer often coexists with gallstone inflammation, the pain is similar to that of calculous cholecystitis. It starts with discomfort in the right upper abdomen followed by persistent dull pain or pain, sometimes accompanied by paroxysmal severe pain that radiates to the right shoulder.

2. Indigestion

Indigestion, aversion to greasy food, belching, and poor appetite are caused by the inadequate function of the gallbladder to digest fatty substances.

3. Jaundice

Jaundice often occurs in the late stage of the disease. Cancerous tissue invades the bile duct and causes jaundice. It is also accompanied by weight loss, fatigue, and even cachexia, yellowing of the skin and mucous membranes, and itching of the skin.

4. Fever

Some patients developed fever.

5. Lump in the right upper abdomen

A mass appears in the right upper abdomen or upper abdomen. This is because the tumor grows rapidly and blocks the bile duct, causing the gallbladder to swell. If it invades the duodenum, it can also cause obstruction. In addition, if the tumor invades the liver, stomach, and pancreas, masses may also appear in the corresponding parts.

Through the above introduction to the symptoms of gallbladder cancer, we can have a good understanding of this disease. Don't be afraid of gallbladder cancer. Early gallbladder cancer can achieve good results through treatment. Therefore, early diagnosis through clinical symptoms is very necessary.
