A member asked:
If tummy is hard, does it mean that i have cancer?

No: Abdominal hardness is not a sign of cancer. It's a subjective feeling. If you have other symptoms of concern, please relay them here or talk to your doc.

Not necessarily: You need to take all of the symptoms into account. For example, is there pain, is there a distinct mass, has this hardness grown recently?Also is there nausea/vomiting, poor appetite, diarrhea or constipation? Any of these should trigger a visit to your doctor.
