Abdominal tumours are abnormal growths that develop within the abdomen, affecting organs like the stomach, liver, pancreas, intestines, or other structures. They can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Early assessment is important to understand the nature of the tumour and determine the appropriate management approach. Dr Ravi Chandra Reddy provides comprehensive surgical gastroenterology care in Maharanipeta for patients with abdominal tumours.
Non-cancerous growths that do not spread to other parts of the body but may cause symptoms through size or pressure on surrounding organs.
Cancerous growths that can invade nearby tissues and may spread to distant organs through the bloodstream or lymphatic system.
Fluid-filled sacs that may be simple or complex, arising from various abdominal organs including the liver, pancreas, or ovaries.
Multiple factors can contribute to the development and progression of this condition.
Recognising the signs early gives you more treatment options.
Assessment begins with a detailed clinical history and physical examination to understand symptoms and identify any masses. Imaging and further tests help determine the location, size, and nature of the tumour. Not every patient requires all investigations.
From conservative to surgical — we always start with the least invasive option first.
A structured, patient-first approach from first visit to full recovery.
Dr Ravi Chandra Reddy conducts a thorough clinical examination and reviews imaging studies to understand the nature and extent of the abdominal tumour.
Appropriate investigations including scans and biopsy are arranged to confirm the diagnosis and determine whether the tumour is benign or malignant.
Based on findings, a tailored management plan is discussed, which may include observation, medical therapy, or surgical intervention depending on individual circumstances.
When surgery is indicated, Dr Ravi Chandra Reddy performs the procedure using the most appropriate technique, followed by post-operative monitoring and guidance on recovery and further care.
What to expect at each phase of recovery.
Patients are monitored in hospital for pain control, wound care, and return of normal bodily functions. Duration varies depending on the procedure performed.
Gradual return to light activities with guidance on diet, movement, and wound care. Follow-up appointments check healing and address any concerns.
Regular monitoring with imaging and clinical assessments to watch for recurrence or complications. The schedule depends on the tumour type and treatment provided.
Removal of tumours that cause pain, obstruction, or pressure can relieve symptoms and improve quality of life, though individual responses vary.
For malignant tumours, surgery aims to remove disease and may be combined with other treatments. Complete cure depends on stage and tumour biology.
Some procedures may affect digestion, nutrition, or other body functions. Support and adaptation strategies help patients adjust.
Even after complete removal, some tumours may return, requiring ongoing surveillance. Not all recurrences can be prevented.
Untreated abdominal tumours may continue to grow, leading to increased pain, organ dysfunction, or obstruction of vital structures. Malignant tumours can spread to other parts of the body, reducing treatment options and affecting overall health. Early assessment allows for timely management and better outcomes.
Seek medical attention if you notice a lump or persistent swelling in your abdomen, unexplained weight loss, ongoing pain, or changes in bowel or digestive function. Symptoms such as jaundice, difficulty eating, or blood in stools warrant prompt evaluation. Early consultation allows for proper diagnosis and planning of appropriate care.
Early treatment means more options and better outcomes. Book a consultation to understand your condition and explore the right path forward.
