7. Abdominal Pain: The Unseen Internal Distress
Stomach aches and abdominal discomfort are something everyone faces at some point. From a heavy meal to stress, numerous factors can lead to a tummy upset. However, the abdominal pain related to MCL is a different beast, lurking in the background and signalling an underlying issue.
Unlike sporadic stomach cramps or digestion-related issues, MCL-induced abdominal pain tends to be more persistent. It can often be accompanied by a feeling of fullness, even after consuming a small meal.
Persistent, unexplained abdominal pain, especially if it’s associated with other MCL symptoms, warrants medical attention. Getting a thorough examination can rule out or confirm any malignancies, allowing for appropriate and timely interventions. (7)
