Is there a possibility of stomach cancer if the stomach often feels uncomfortable?

Frequent stomach discomfort may be caused by non-malignant lesions such as chronic superficial gastritis and indigestion. However, it cannot be ruled out that it is caused by gastric ulcer or gastric cancer.

1. Chronic superficial gastritis: If you have an irregular diet or overeat, it may cause irritation and damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa, thereby inducing an inflammatory response. During the onset of the disease, symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting will occur, and there will also be a decrease in appetite. Patients need to take omeprazole enteric-coated capsules and rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets for treatment as prescribed by the doctor;

2. Indigestion: Gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by long-term consumption of spicy food or cold abdomen usually leads to upper abdominal pain and even acid reflux. It is recommended to take domperidone tablets, stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets and other drugs orally under the guidance of a doctor to relieve symptoms;

3. Gastric ulcer: It is usually caused by Helicobacter pylori infection, but it may also be caused by autoimmune abnormalities. After the disease occurs, it is easy to cause a burning sensation in the stomach, and it may also affect normal eating. You can go to the hospital for a carbon-14 breath test for diagnosis, and then cooperate with quadruple therapy to treat Helicobacter pylori, such as amoxicillin clavulanate potassium granules, bismuth potassium citrate granules, metronidazole tablets, omeprazole enteric-coated capsules, etc.

4. Gastric cancer: It is a malignant tumor disease. The cause of the disease is still unclear. It is considered to be related to genetic factors, and environmental factors cannot be ruled out. Typical symptoms include discomfort in the middle and lower abdomen, feeling of fullness, anorexia, weight loss, etc. The condition can be improved by surgical removal of the lesion, and radiotherapy and chemotherapy are also needed after surgery.

In daily life, we should develop good living habits and avoid drinking and smoking in large quantities to avoid increasing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, we should pay attention to a reasonable diet, try to eat light and easily digestible food, and avoid eating too cold, too hot or too rough food.
