5. Abdominal pain is another sign to look out for when you have Schistosomiasis.
When you have Schistosomiasis, it gets into the bloodstream and can affect your other organs. That’s why it’s important to get treatment as soon as you have this sign. The abdominal pain is felt in your liver and spleen. The abdominal pain should be a sign that something is going wrong in your body. For a woman, you may think she’s having the time of the month cramps, but if the cramps last for a week or two, there is definitely something wrong.
Since the liver and spleen become affected, if you wait too long, they may stop functioning and could possibly die. Hospitalization may be your only course of action, especially since your liver and spleen are causing you problems. The pain may become intense that you have no choice, but to go to the emergency room.
