5. Swelling from Tumors
Tumors and adenomas will usually appear as small lumps which can be felt from the outside, and they may or may not be painful to the touch; there’s no way to tell whether or not the lump you’re feeling is cancerous or not – and if you notice anything that normally isn’t there, or shouldn’t be there but has been around for a while, see your doctor.
Even where it presents no danger to your health, it’s always best to know rather than to take the risk or speculate. If you are aware of a health condition such as an adenoma, it’s vital to see your doctor regularly, too – monitoring an adenoma is just as important as diagnosing it.
Sometimes swelling associated with adenomas and tumors can cause acromegaly by placing pressure on the body’s organs that are in charge of producing the necessary growth hormones – which makes them produce more than the natural capacity.
