Does stomach bloating without pain mean stomach cancer?

Whether stomach bloating is gastric cancer needs to be judged based on the specific circumstances.

If there is only stomach bloating but no pain, and imaging and laboratory tests are normal, it is usually not stomach cancer. However, if stomach bloating is accompanied by uncomfortable symptoms such as belching and acid reflux, and imaging tests reveal filling defects of gastric ulcers or masses, and pathological examinations are positive, it indicates that it is caused by stomach cancer.

Stomach bloating without pain may not only be caused by gastric cancer, but also by improper diet, indigestion, gastroptosis and other factors.

1. Improper diet

Overeating or eating too many gas-producing foods, such as soybeans, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., will lead to excessive gastrointestinal gas and cause bloating, but no pain.

2. Indigestion

If you eat too fast on a daily basis and fail to chew and swallow food completely, it will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, leading to indigestion and bloating, but not pain.

3. Gastroptosis

Gastroptosis refers to the descent of the stomach into the pelvic cavity, causing digestive dysfunction and leading to a series of digestive system symptoms such as bloating, hiccups, and nausea.

If you often experience stomach bloating without pain, and exclude non-disease factors, you need to seek medical attention in time and receive treatment according to the cause to avoid delaying the condition. In daily life, you should also improve your bad eating habits, avoid overeating or eating too much gas-producing food. Usually, the disease can be relieved after a period of time, so patients should maintain a good attitude.
