2. You Feel Persistent Upper Abdominal Pain
A dull, aching pain near your right upper abdomen can indicate the liver is enlarged or under stress from a growing tumor.
This discomfort may spread to your back or shoulder blade. Unlike temporary stomach aches, it often lingers and worsens over time.
If the pain persists for weeks without improvement, especially if paired with fatigue or weight loss, it’s worth having it medically checked.
3. You Notice Unexplained Weight Loss
Sudden, unplanned weight loss can be a red flag for several serious health conditions, including liver cancer. It happens as the disease affects metabolism.
Your body may burn more calories while your appetite declines, leading to rapid loss of both fat and muscle mass.
If you’re losing weight without changing your diet or activity level, don’t ignore it—seek professional evaluation. Early detection can change treatment outcomes.
