10. Bloating
Bloating is a symptom that can indicate several different infections and health conditions, and it’s best to see your doctor immediately if you have experienced any bloating for a long period of time, or are currently experiencing bloating that doesn’t go away. This is true even if you aren’t experiencing any symptoms on this list with it: Bloating can point to some very serious deficiencies in your health.
For men and women both, bloating can be an indicator of hormone imbalances or digestive conditions – and most causes, including endometriosis for women, will fall under either one of these two.
We already know that pancreatitis can affect the digestive system to a large degree, so it shouldn’t be that much of a surprise to find out that it can also make the stomach appear bloated – and this may (or may not) be painful to the touch, but should be touched and prodded with extreme care to prevent any further discomfort or injury.
