What Is Mesenteric Adenitis?
4. Pain
Perhaps the most common symptom of mesenteric adenitis is pain. For many patients, the abdomen area will feel tender to the touch. The pain will tend to be located in the lower right area of the abdomen, and the pain will be quite sharp and severe in some cases.
The severity of the pain, and the location, means that mesenteric adenitis will sometimes be mistaken for appendicitis until tests are carried out. It should be noted that appendicitis has the potential to be extremely dangerous, so the patient should be taken to an emergency room if the condition is suspected.
