2. Tenderness When Touching the Abdomen
Healthline
Pancreatitis can cause abdominal distention and tenderness when the abdomen is touched. This usually is a sign of inflammation or other severe conditions of a certain organ, in this particular case, the pancreas. When the pancreas are inflamed, it may also causes the surrounding areas to feel tender as well. If you notice that your abdomen is swollen and tender, especially when touched or pressure is placed on the tummy, accompanied by pain, be sure to consult with a doctor immediately before your condition becomes more serious.
