Is stomach pain from smoking a precursor to stomach cancer?

Stomach pain from smoking may be a precursor to gastric cancer, but it may not be a precursor to gastric cancer, but may be caused by nicotine and other harmful substances in tobacco irritating the gastric mucosa. It is recommended to seek medical attention in time and receive targeted treatment under the guidance of a doctor. The specific situations are as follows:

1. It may be that stomach pain caused by smoking may be related to gastric cancer, mainly because the harmful substances in tobacco can damage the gastric mucosa, leading to an increased risk of gastric mucosal cancer. Smoking may also affect the body's immunity, reducing the body's ability to eliminate cancer cells. Smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke should be avoided. At the same time, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as eating regularly and avoiding excessive intake of pickled and processed foods, can also help reduce the risk of gastric cancer.

2. Probably not: Nicotine and other harmful substances in tobacco have a certain irritating effect on the gastric mucosa, which may cause inflammation or damage to the gastric mucosa, leading to stomach pain. Smoking may also increase gastric acid secretion, further aggravate gastric mucosal damage, cause gastrointestinal spasm, and lead to stomach pain. You can take Weitongping capsules, omeprazole enteric-coated capsules, aluminum carbonate magnesium chewable tablets and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor to relieve discomfort.

Maintaining good living habits, controlling diet, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol consumption, maintaining an appropriate amount of exercise such as slow walking, brisk walking, jogging, etc., avoiding excessive fatigue, will help recovery from the illness.
