DLBCL can also cause "B symptoms," which include:
- Fever of 103°F or higher lasting at least two days
- Drenching night sweats that soak through your clothes or bedsheets
- Unexplained weight loss of 10% or more of your body weight over six months
Other symptoms may include:
- Fatigue or tiredness
- Abdominal pain or swelling
- Loss of appetite or feeling full quickly
- Diarrhea (if DLBCL affects your stomach or intestines)
Keep in mind that these symptoms can look like other conditions, so it's important to see your doctor if you notice any new or worsening symptoms. Just because you experience one or two of these doesn't automatically mean you have DLBCL.
