What are the early symptoms of gastric cancer

Now the incidence of cancer is getting higher and higher, and most people have begun to pay attention to their health problems. However, many young people skip breakfast in order to save time, which causes abdominal pain, nausea, belching and other phenomena. In severe cases, they even get stomach problems, and in more serious cases, they even get stomach cancer. So what are the early symptoms of stomach cancer?

The most common symptom of early gastric cancer is upper abdominal discomfort, such as mild stomach pain, a feeling of heaviness and distension, and sometimes a dull pain in the pit of the stomach, which may be temporarily relieved. If the lesion occurs in the gastric antrum, rhythmic pain occurs, similar to the symptoms of ulcer disease, and it is easy to be misdiagnosed as duodenal ulcer and delay treatment. However, these symptoms of early gastric cancer will recur after a period of time. Therefore, anyone with symptoms of upper abdominal discomfort, if accompanied by other high-risk factors, or who has repeated attacks after treatment, must be vigilant about early gastric cancer and undergo further examinations in order to detect early gastric cancer and treat it early.

Indigestion symptoms such as loss of appetite, anorexia, poor appetite, nausea and vomiting, bloating after eating, belching, acid reflux, etc. are also a group of common but non-specific early signs of gastric cancer. Loss of appetite may be an early symptom of gastric cancer, and it is not accompanied by stomach pain. If it occurs at the same time as stomach pain symptoms and hepatitis can be ruled out, it should be taken seriously. Some patients with early gastric cancer automatically restrict their daily diet due to abdominal distension and belching after eating, resulting in weight loss, emaciation, and fatigue. Early symptoms of gastric cancer may also include a feeling of fullness after eating accompanied by mild nausea.

Unexplained weight loss, fatigue, and lack of energy are also a common but non-specific gastric cancer signal, and they are progressive and worsening. Some are secondary to indigestion symptoms. Patients automatically restrict their daily diet due to abdominal distension and belching after eating, resulting in weight loss, weight loss, and fatigue. In addition, nausea and vomiting can further cause loss of nutrition, resulting in malnutrition and aggravating the symptoms of weight loss and fatigue. Of course, weight loss and fatigue are more obvious in the later stages of advanced gastric cancer.
