How to Recognize Pseudomyxoma Peritonei Symptoms
Instructions
-
-
1
Notice a slow increase in your waist size or unusual abdominal bloating. Pseudomyxoma Peritonei spreads internally along abdominal surfaces.
-
2
Report any chronic abdominal pain or discomfort to your doctor. Many doctors confuse Pseudomyxoma Peritonei in women with ovarian cancer, as they share the same major symptom of a swollen and painful abdomen.
-
3
Note any changes in appetite, such as a loss of appetite or changes in bowel habits.
-
4
Keep track if you're having trouble getting pregnant. Untreated Pseudomyxoma Peritonei causes women to become incapable of becoming pregnant.
