Warning Signs Of Gallbladder Cancer

Pain Above Stomach

The upper portion of the abdomen is home to many important organs such as the pancreas, kidneys, liver, adrenal glands, and gallbladder. Typically, pain above the stomach is caused by a minor issue that will go away within a few days. However, if upper abdominal pain persists, it could be an indication of a more serious condition like gallbladder cancer.

Upper stomach pain accompanied with severe pressure, a yellowish skin tint, weight loss, a high body temperature, nausea, vomiting, extreme tenderness, or bloody stools may point to a significant underlying cause like cancer. Severe stomach pain that occurs suddenly, especially when accompanied by nausea and vomiting, may be an indication of a bowel obstruction from a tumor pressing on an organ or the bowel. Pain above the stomach accompanied by weight loss may also be caused by tumors pressing on the intestines or organs, resulting in a feeling of fullness after consuming even just a small amount of food.
