About half of patients suffering from Mesothelioma show no symptoms of disease. Dangerous amounts of asbestos exposure leading to Peritoneum by looking for the primary signs.
Swelling of the Abdomen or Abdominal Pain are, for many patients, foolproof signs of the presence of Peritoneal Mesothelioma. This is primarily because this cancer affects the membrane which lines your stomach.
Anemia is also associated with this form of Mesothelioma. Anemia is a condition characterized by unusually low levels of red blood cells, and can be detected through symptoms such as a loss of muscle control or loss of sensation in your hands and feet.
Constipation or Bowel Obstruction, when present for an extended period, signify the presence of cancer. Since Peritoneum primarily influences the stomach and digestive tract, these discomforts can be seen as symptoms.
Continuous Fever is often a symptom of cancer, but is associated with multiple diseases. It should, however, be marked as a sign of Mesothelioma if other symptoms are present.
Weight Loss without an obvious cause is the final symptom. This is associated with most forms of Mesothelioma. Please consult a physician for a complete diagnosis.
