10 Symptoms of Endometrial Cancer
Symptom #8: Abdominal Pain And Bloating
Abdominal pain and bloating are both common and non-specific symptoms that are often seen in most gastrointestinal disorders such as constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulitis, and more. The abdomen can be divided into nine regions: right hypochondriac, epigastric, left hypochondriac, left lumbar, umbilical region, right lumbar, right iliac, suprapubic, and left iliac. In most cases, the location of pain is a clue for the underlying cause of pain and bloat.
Patients often complain of abdominal bloating by expressing a feeling of fullness and tightness of the abdomen. In endometrial cancer, abdominal pain and bloating can occur if there is also an involvement of the gastrointestinal system.
