10 Symptoms of Burkitt's Lymphoma

3. Bowel Problems

People with Burkitt's lymphoma tend to suffer from moderate to severe bowel problems. Bleeding from the bowel or dealing with bowel obstruction are common symptoms. A blockage occurs when the cancerous tumors block either the small or large intestines. It prevents food and fluids to flow throughout the body, which leads to intense pain and bloating. You may also experience diarrhea depending on whether or not the intestine is blocked entirely or partially. If you are feeling a painful sensation that comes and goes mixed with constipation, you should visit your family doctor.
