The symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma
The symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma are
- Pain in the abdomen (tummy)
- Swelling in the abdomen
- Feeling or being sick
- Poor appetite
- Losing more than 10% of your weight when not dieting
- Diarrhoea or constipation
These symptoms are all more likely to be caused by some other illness, rather than by mesothelioma. But if you have these symptoms, see your doctor. This is particularly important if you have been exposed to asbestos in the past.
