Abdominal bloating is a condition in which the abdomen feels uncomfortably full and gaseous and may also be visibly seen.Typically, persistent abdominal bloating is an unnatural occurrence.

Its prudent to act as early as possible to determine the cause of persistent bloating and to seek treatment. There are several life-threatening diagnoses associated with bloating and ordinarily severe bloating tends to be associated with various forms of cancer.

Bloating and Cancer types: Cancer concerns include.

Stomach cancer is usually asymptomatic early on or may cause vague symptoms like bloating, indigestion, and a feeling of fullness in the upper abdomen. In some cases, there will likely be additional symptoms of weight loss, nausea or abdominal pain.

Pancreatic Cancer: Typically, pancreatic cancer tends to be very aggressive. The combination of bloating associated with jaundice, weight loss, and upper abdominal pain that radiates to the back can be an ominous sign that may indicate pancreatic cancer.

Also, newly onset diabetes, in association with bloating, weight loss, and abdominal pain, may also be a sign of pancreatic cancer

Reproductive Cancer: Ovarian cancer can trigger severe bloating. The serious bloating can be associated with blood in the stool and vaginal bleeding. Essentially, any vaginal bleeding in between periods or postmenopausal should always be promptly evaluated. These symptoms particularly can be a sign of uterine cancer. ..

Uterine cancer in addition to a bloating gut can cause abnormal vaginal bleeding. pelvic pain, or pain during urination. This condition tends to display a higher incidence in women over 50 years.Sometimes bloating or a change in bowel habits may be the only primary signs of uterine and colon cancer

Colon Cancer: Colon cancer can block the inside of the colon causing progressive bloating. For cancers, high up in the colon, bloating may be the only initial symptom. But if the cancer is located at the end of the colon in the rectum or sigmoid, there is usually bleeding and a history of worsening constipation.

Liver Cancer: Bloating thats accompanied by ascites and jaundice may be a sign of metastatic liver cancer thats spread to the liver or of primary liver cancer.  Ascites is usually caused by liver disease, but cancer is also a culprit.

The accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity, known as ascites, can cause the appearance of distension in the abdomen or pelvis. This results in bloating, weight gain and an enlarged waistline.

Liver cancer can develop in people with a history of hepatitis or even heavy alcohol usage. Simply keep in mind that the combination of bloating, yellow eyes and skin can be a sign of cancer thats spread to the liver.
