Three early signs of gallbladder cancer

There are no obvious symptoms in the early stage of gallbladder cancer. If there is persistent pain in the upper abdomen, mass, jaundice, etc., the disease has reached the late stage, which brings great harm and shock to the patient and his family. However, there are still some physical signs of gallbladder cancer in the early stage. If you observe carefully, you will notice it and achieve early detection and early treatment. The early physical signs of gallbladder cancer are:

1. Jaundice: manifested in yellowing of mucous membranes and skin. Severe yellowing is mostly obstructive jaundice.

2. Right upper abdominal mass: A relatively smooth and enlarged gallbladder can be felt in the right upper abdomen. When there is no adhesion to the surrounding tissue, it is highly mobile. When there is adhesion to the surrounding tissue, several masses can be felt, and sometimes an enlarged liver or a mass of duodenal obstruction can be felt. In nearly half of the cases, a mass can be felt in the gallbladder area of ​​the right upper abdomen at the time of initial diagnosis. Some parts are hard and have a nodular feel. This mass is the gallbladder. Occasionally, due to obstruction of the cystic duct, the gallbladder may accumulate water or form an abscess, causing tenderness in the gallbladder area and rebound pain. Its signs are very similar to those of acute cholecystitis or obstructive cholangitis.

3. Weight loss: Most cases show gradual weight loss, fatigue, and an unhealthy physique.
