Along with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a form of cancer in the lymphatic system. This condition is more common than its counterpart. In fact, the term refers to a very large group of diseases with various signs, complications, and treatment options. Follicular lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma are the two most common subtypes. Below are 10 typical symptoms of non-Hodgkin lymphoma you should know.
Abdominal Pain
One of the most typical symptoms in people with non-Hodgkin lymphoma is pain or discomfort around the abdominal area. It is caused when the tumor grows and causes swelling in your abdomen. In most cases, the liver or spleen can be enlarged. This is a common sign in many forms of lymphoma. Depending on the stage, the intensity of the pain can vary from mild to serious. Pushing on the stomach can worsen this sensation. Make sure to contact your doctor as soon as possible to look for abnormal signs and early treatment options. [1]
