7. Abdominal Pain and/or Swelling

If lymphoma starts in or around your abdomen, you may begin feeling pain or swelling in that area. There are two main reasons for this: a condition brought on by the tumor called Ascites could be creating a build-up of fluid in and around the abdomen. The other reason could be due to other tumors enlarging your liver or spleen.

Males are two to three times more likely to suffer from gastric lymphoma than females; with more cases being found in adults over the age of 50. Usually, a case of bloating or stomach pain can be solved by going on a cleanse or a simple change of diet. If you’ve tried this and are still in pain or discomfort, make an appointment to get checked out.
