Early symptoms of pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer usually has no obvious symptoms in the early stages. As the disease progresses, it may cause upper abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, jaundice, weight loss, fatigue, etc. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination as soon as possible and cooperate with the doctor's treatment.

1. Upper abdominal pain: Pancreatic cancer may cause abdominal pain or discomfort in the upper abdomen, which may gradually worsen and spread to the back.

2. Nausea and vomiting: Pancreatic cancer may cause digestive system problems such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, bloating or indigestion.

3. Jaundice: When pancreatic cancer blocks the bile duct, jaundice may occur, which manifests as yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes, darker urine, and lighter stools.

4. Weight loss: May cause unexplained weight loss even though appetite is normal or increased.

5. Fatigue: Pancreatic cancer may cause decreased physical strength, fatigue, and weakness.

Early detection of pancreatic cancer requires early treatment, such as surgical removal of the tumor, which is conducive to achieving the goal of radical cure. Good nursing measures should be taken after the operation and regular follow-up observation in the hospital should be carried out.
