The signs and manifestations of stomach cancer.
It is well known that stomach cancer is a malignant tumour that poses a serious threat to human health and that understanding its symptoms and manifestations is essential for early detection and treatment.
Early stomach cancer may not have visible symptoms or have only slight, easily neglected manifestations. The upper abdominal discomfort is a more common one, and patients may feel a hidden pain, blunt pain or discomfort, which is irregular, sometimes aggravated by eating, and sometimes by empty stomachs. As the symptoms are unusual, they are often mistaken for minor problems such as indigestion or stomachitis.
Declining appetite is also an important early sign. People with normal appetites may suddenly find themselves less interested in food and less food. A feeling of diarrhea after eating a small amount of food may persist for a longer period of time, even if it is felt that the stomach is swelling all day and does not want to eat any more.
Disgusting, vomiting sometimes occurs early. When tumours in the stomach affect normal osmosis and emptiness of the stomach, food stays in the stomach for too long a period of time and can easily give rise to a disgusting feeling. If the tumour is located in the cuddly part of the stomach, which leads to a cavity barrier, vomiting may become more intense and frequent, with much of the vomiting being food that stays longer inside the stomach and it smells of acid.
As the condition develops, the symptoms of stomach cancer increase. The loss of body weight is one of the more prominent manifestations of stomach cancer in the medium to long term. As a result of reduced appetite and food consumption of patients, tumours continue to consume the energy of the body, leading to a significant reduction in body weight in a short period of time. There is a need for vigilance if weight decreases in the absence of deliberate diets.
Upper abdominal pain can become more visible and frequent, the level of pain can increase, from early pain to sustained pain, and the nature of the pain can change, such as stinging or stinging. Such pain may be emitting to the back of the waist, and when it occurs, it tends to suggest that it may have been severe.
In addition to the symptoms described above, people with stomach cancer may have black poop or vomited blood. When the tumour surface is pulsed and bleeding, the blood is digested in the intestinal tract and blackens the shit. If haemorrhage is larger and faster, there may be vomiting of blood, which may be dark red or coffee colour, as the blood reacts with stomach acid.
In addition, people with advanced stomach cancer may have symptoms of a general nature, such as inactivity, anaemia, etc. The weakness is due to insufficient body energy supply and the consumption of the organism by the tumors, which results in a severe fatigue and a marked decline in activity tolerance. Anaemia is the result of chronic haemorrhage and the effect of tumours on bone marrow blood function, which can be seen as pale, dizziness, panic, etc.
It is worth noting that these symptoms are not unique to stomach cancer and that many other digestive system diseases may have similar manifestations. However, if these symptoms persist, especially when several symptoms occur at the same time, there should be a high level of suspicion about the possibility of stomach cancer and timely medical examination, such as a stomach lens, a pathological examination, blood tests, etc., for early diagnosis and treatment to improve the cure and survival rates.
Understanding the signs and manifestations of stomach cancer is an important step in safeguarding our own health, helping us to discover “twilight signs” in the early years of the disease and seeking the best time for treatment.
