What are the symptoms of gastric cancer
Symptoms of early stomach cancer
Upper abdominal distension and discomfort: This is one of the most common early symptoms, experienced by more than 70% of patients. This feeling usually occurs during quiet times and disappears with activity or distraction. It's like your stomach is saying, "Hey, I'm a little upset!"
Acid reflux or burning sensation in the stomach: Many patients experience dull pain in the stomach, which can sometimes be relieved by taking medicine. Or you may feel bloated and burp after eating. At this time, many people may mistakenly think that they just have ordinary gastritis. But in fact, this may be stomach cancer quietly causing trouble.
Weight loss and fatigue: If you find that you have a loss of appetite and often feel tired and weak, you should be careful. This may be stomach cancer secretly draining your energy.
Black stool: If you have not taken bismuth or other medications, but suddenly find that your stool has turned black, you must go to the hospital for examination immediately. This may be an important signal of stomach cancer.
Symptoms of Advanced Gastric Cancer
In the late stages, the symptoms of stomach cancer become more obvious and difficult to relieve. In addition to the aggravation of the above symptoms, there are also the following characteristics:
Metastasis: Advanced gastric cancer has a high chance of metastasis. Cancer cells can spread to nearby organs or metastasize to distant sites through lymph nodes. This can lead to symptoms such as ascites, jaundice, liver enlargement, and even complications such as gastric perforation, bleeding, and necrosis. Although it sounds scary, there is still hope as long as it is treated in time!
Other symptoms:
Difficulty swallowing: Stomach cancer in the cardia area may make you feel like there is a lump in your throat when you eat.
Food reflux: Food contents in the stomach can flow back up into the esophagus, making you feel very uncomfortable.
General abdominal pain: Acute perforation can cause severe abdominal pain and may also be accompanied by peritonitis.
Diarrhea, constipation: Some patients may experience these digestive system problems.
Fever: The body may develop a fever for unknown reasons.
