Gastrointestinal Issues
Pheochromocytoma is characterized by the growth of tumors, which produce catecholamines. These substances make the body more prone to gastrointestinal issues. These include constipation, abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, as well as megacolon. Constipation is a quite rare and possibly life-threatening complication in those with this condition. The good news is that severe constipation would be prevented by detecting and treating mild symptoms early. [9]
