The pancreas plays a major role in digestion. When it is not functioning properly, people may notice changes such as:
- Frequent bloating
- Nausea
- Indigestion
- Greasy or floating stools
- Difficulty digesting fatty foods
These symptoms can occur because the pancreas is no longer producing enough digestive enzymes.
Some individuals also develop new-onset diabetes, particularly later in life. Researchers have found that sudden changes in blood sugar control may sometimes be linked to pancreatic problems. Although diabetes is common and usually unrelated to cancer, doctors may investigate further when it appears alongside other concerning symptoms.
Fatigue is another symptom often mentioned by patients. Persistent tiredness that does not improve with rest can affect daily activities and quality of life.
