Abdominal Pain
Some people can experience pain in the abdomen when they have jaundice. The presence and severity of abdominal pain depends on the underlying cause of the condition. When present, pain can be constant or sporadic, and sometimes pain is only felt when the abdomen is touched.
Pain commonly occurs when jaundice is caused by cancer of the pancreas or in the biliary tract. Less commonly, pain may be an indication of an acute viral condition, such as hepatitis.
