What are the hazards of gastric cancer? These need attention

There are many dangers of gastric cancer. Bleeding may occur, leading to indigestion, loss of appetite, rapid progression, early metastasis, poor prognosis, and mental damage to patients. Therefore, everyone must pay attention to their health and protect their stomach. If you find stomach discomfort, check it out as soon as possible.

Gastric cancer not only threatens everyone's life and health, but also makes gastric cancer patients suffer from the disease, causing great harm to patients mentally and physically. On the other hand, a very important reason why many people suffer from gastric cancer is that they do not have a good feeding habit for the stomach. So what are the hazards of gastric cancer? Let's take a look at it together.
Most patients with early-stage gastric cancer do not have any physical signs. Or they may only have tenderness in the upper abdomen. Most patients with mid- to late-stage gastric cancer have severe tenderness in the upper abdomen. One-third of patients can feel a lump in the abdomen, which is hard and has an uneven surface and is tender to the touch. This is especially true for thin patients with antral cancer. Metastatic lesions such as rectal and umbilical tumors, supraclavicular lymph node enlargement, and ascites before the tumor is palpable are evidence of the progression of gastric cancer.
If you have gastric cancer, you may also have bleeding. Generally, gastric cancer patients with bleeding are relatively young, the lesions are more malignant, and the disease progresses very quickly. They are prone to ulcers, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, or gastric perforation. They may also have anemia, especially when they vomit blood or have black stools.
Gastric cancer means that the stomach is damaged, which will lead to poor digestion and decreased appetite. For patients with gastric cancer, especially young patients, the symptoms are not obvious at the beginning of the disease. Patients may feel discomfort in the upper abdomen, insufficient digestion, and poor appetite. They usually think it is gastritis or peptic ulcer. Pregnant women with gastric cancer will think it is a normal pregnancy reaction.
After gastric cancer patients become ill, the disease progresses, metastasis occurs in the early stage, and the prognosis is: If the patient is younger, the course of the disease may be shorter, only one and a half years, and some patients will have metastasis and the condition will become more serious.
Patients who suffer mental damage due to gastric damage will become more pessimistic due to the physical damage caused by cancer. However, as the disease continues to change, the condition will become more serious, and the mind and body will suffer a double blow, causing great trauma to the patients, making treatment more difficult.
The hazards of gastric cancer described above are very alarming, so it is necessary to learn to improve your bad living habits, including eating and sleeping habits, and actively do preventive work. And if you find any discomfort in your body, you should check it out as soon as possible and take appropriate treatment measures.
