For some time, my cousin had been suffering from fever, and she could not get rid of it by many methods. Later, after the hospital examination, it turned out to be pancreatic cancer. Accurate examination is very important. Now let's see how pancreatic cancer is detected.

How is pancreatic cancer checked out

First of all: the general early stage of pancreatic cancer with stomach gas, easy to confuse with stomach disease. Some patients may also have epigastric tenderness, but the symptoms are relatively hidden. Many doctors will not hesitate to prescribe drugs for patients with chronic gastritis. Until the patient appears jaundice, will cause attention.

Secondly, constipation is also a prominent manifestation of early symptoms of pancreatic cancer. If the stool is thin and soft, no more than three times a day, you can rest assured. However, if constipation occurs, it is very dangerous. It may be that the pancreatic duct is blocked, causing sudden severe abdominal pain and autolysis of the pancreas, leading to sudden death of the patient.

Finally: fever is also one of the most common symptoms in the early stage of pancreatic cancer. One is the secondary infection caused by bile duct obstruction, causing fever. The other is the necrosis of cancer cells, causing the absorption of heat energy, leading to fever. The fever symptoms caused by these two reasons should be paid attention to. Generally, the body temperature of patients will continue to hover between 38-39 degrees Celsius. Taking anti-inflammatory drugs can relieve the symptoms, but the phenomenon of fever will be repeated. Only when the lesions are completely removed can the fever subside.
