Symptoms of Mesothelioma

Symptoms of Mesothelioma

Symptoms of mesothelioma develop gradually and usually takes 20-30 years until symptoms appear. The patient may not feel any symptoms when mesothelioma is at an early stage. But over time, cancer cells will grow and continue nerves or other organs, causing symptoms.

The symptoms of mesothelioma differ depending on the location of the presence of cancer cells. In pulmonary mesothelioma, symptoms that may appear are as follows:

•  Fever is accompanied by sweat, especially at night.
•  Excessive fatigue.
•  Cough accompanied by unbearable pain.
•  Shortness of breath due to a buildup of fluid in the lungs, precisely in the pleural cavity, which is the space between the two layers of pleura lining the lungs.
•  Weight loss for no apparent reason.
•  Chest pain.
•  Swelling and deformation at the tip of the finger (clubbing).
•  Lumps appear within the tissue under the skin surface of the chest area.

Meanwhile, stomach mesothelioma (peritoneal) has the following symptoms:

•  Loss of appetite.
•  Weight decreased dramatically.
•  Diarrhea.
•  Constipation.
•  Pain in the abdomen.
•  Swelling in the abdominal area.
•  A bump in the stomach appears.
•  Obstruction of bowel movements and urination.

Pericardial mesothelioma and testes are very rare types of mesothelioma. Pericardial mesothelioma usually causes symptoms within the sort of pain and respiratory distress, while mesothelioma testis is characterized by swelling or the looks of a lump within the testicular area.

The symptoms of mesothelioma aren't specific and may be caused by other conditions. Therefore, see a doctor immediately if you are feeling the symptoms above, especially if you've got a history of asbestos exposure.
