You can protect yourself by taking personal precautions regarding pancreatic cancer, which is the most insidious and difficult to detect cancer type. For signs of pancreatic cancer, you can observe your urine and stool, especially when you go to the toilet, and see a doctor as soon as you notice a change. Pancreatic cancer, which is one of the most common types of cancer in our country, is the most common among the symptoms; It is stated that stools with a particularly foul odor and an unusual color are a sign because the body does not digest fats well.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF PANCREAS CANCER?
Pancreatic cancer can progress insidiously without any symptoms in its initial stages. However, the most common pancreatic cancer symptoms that started to appear in the later stages are;
- weight loss,
- Stomach ache,
- Jaundice,
- Loss of appetite,
- nausea-vomiting,
- Weakness,
- Tiredness,
- Diarrhea,
- digestive difficulty,
- Back pain,
- Glass paste-colored defecation,
- Pallor,
- These are symptoms such as diabetes and depression that come on suddenly and have no family history.
Rapid weight loss is seen in patients as a result of malnutrition along with bloating, indigestion and loss of appetite. One of the earliest and most common symptoms is jaundice. Initially, jaundice appears in the eyes, then yellowing of the skin, darkening of the urine color and turning into ‘tea-colored urine’, and finally resulting in abnormal lightening of the color of the stool, which is defined as ‘glass paste’. The cause of jaundice is the inhibition of the excretion of bilirubin produced by the liver to the duodenum as a result of obstruction of the bile duct by pancreatic cancer. While the pain is a mild discomfort, which is defined as vague abdominal pain, it takes the form of abdominal pain in the back in the future. It is blunt in nature. It is often associated with symptoms of bloating and indigestion.
