Will gastric cancer cause severe anemia?

In our lifetime, we will always encounter many diseases that trouble our lives. Gastric cancer is one of them. Knowing more about diseases in daily life is very helpful for us to prevent and treat diseases. Will gastric cancer cause severe anemia? Today we will first understand the hazards of gastric cancer.

1. When gastric cancer patients have digestive tract bleeding, it is usually a small amount of bleeding, and heavy bleeding is relatively rare. About 5% of patients may have heavy bleeding. Complications of gastric cancer are manifested as vomiting blood and (or) black stools, which are occasionally the first symptoms. Gastric cancer patients may experience dizziness, palpitations, tarry stools, and vomiting of coffee-colored substances. This is one of the harmful manifestations of gastric cancer.

2. The harm of gastric cancer: When gastric cancer metastasizes to the abdominal cavity and compresses the common bile duct, gastric cancer patients may develop jaundice and clay-colored stools.

3. Combined with pyloric obstruction, which is more common in gastric cancer originating from the pylorus and cardia. When gastric cancer at the gastric fundus extends to the cardia or esophagus, it causes obstruction of the lower end of the esophagus. Tumors near the pylorus are prone to pyloric obstruction. It can be seen that the harmful manifestations of gastric cancer include vomiting, an expanded stomach in the upper abdomen, and the sound of water splashing.

The disease is not very harmful at the beginning and the treatment is much simpler. The scary thing is that we cannot treat the disease in time, causing the disease to continue to develop, especially cancer like gastric cancer. If it reaches the middle and late stages, there is no better way except resection, so we must pay attention to preventing the occurrence of gastric cancer.
