The presence of a certain color of urine is one of the warning signs that you need to pay attention to. British oncologists state that “orange urine” can be a sign of a very dangerous disease – pancreatic cancer.
Symptoms of pancreatic cancer usually do not appear in the early stages of the disease, although, as with all cancers, detecting it as early as possible increases a person's chances of survival. One of the first noticeable symptoms of pancreatic cancer is pain in the back or abdomen (especially when lying down or after eating), experts note.
But not all symptoms appear in the area around the pancreas.
"The color of a person's urine can also be an indicator of pancreatic cancer. In particular, such a sign is an orange hue of urine, a consequence of the fact that the bile duct has begun to carry bile from the liver to the duodenum," experts said.
This disorder, according to doctors, occurs due to tumor growth.
Other symptoms of pancreatic cancer include:
- changes in bowel movements (alternating diarrhea and constipation),
- fever and shivering,
- dyspepsia (recurrent feeling of pain or discomfort in the upper abdomen).
- blood clots in the stool.
Also, experts added, symptoms of diabetes or jaundice can be a signal that a person is developing pancreatic cancer.
