What are the early symptoms of gastric cancer

The early symptoms of gastric cancer are often not obvious, but there are still some possible manifestations, including upper abdominal pain, indigestion, nausea and vomiting, black stools or blood in the stool, weight loss, etc. If you have any discomfort, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time and take appropriate measures under the guidance of a doctor. The details are as follows:

1. Upper abdominal pain: often intermittent dull pain, no obvious regularity, may be aggravated after eating. After a clear diagnosis, early gastric cancer is often treated with surgery to remove the tumor and surrounding tissues. After surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other auxiliary treatments are performed according to the situation.

2. Indigestion: abdominal distension, belching, loss of appetite, etc. After diagnosis, the treatment plan is the same as before. At the same time, you can pay attention to eating small meals frequently and choose easily digestible foods.

3. Nausea and vomiting: It may occur after eating, and the vomitus is mostly stomach contents. If it is caused by gastric cancer, surgery is the main treatment, supplemented by drugs to relieve symptoms, such as gastrokinetic drugs.

4. Black stool or blood in stool: The stool becomes black, or there is bright red blood in the stool. After the cause is identified, surgery should be performed early, and blood transfusion should be performed to correct anemia if necessary.

5. Weight loss: Without intentional weight loss, weight will gradually decrease. Comprehensive treatment of gastric cancer should be carried out to strengthen nutritional support and improve the nutritional status of patients.

Early symptoms of gastric cancer are easily overlooked. If the above symptoms appear and persist, especially for people with high-risk factors such as a family history of gastric cancer or a long history of gastric diseases, they should seek medical attention in time for gastroscopy and other examinations for early diagnosis and treatment. Early detection and treatment of gastric cancer are crucial to improving cure and survival rates.
