Early stomach cancer does not have any symptoms. When the cancer grows larger, people may notice one or more symptoms, such as the following:
Abdominal symptoms
Abdominal pain - At first the location may be in the upper or middle abdomen. It is typically a relatively mild pain. With the development of the cancer, abdominal pain may be persistent. Loss of appetite - Some patients endure a loss of appetite without any inducement. Nausea and vomiting - This is also because of the affect of the lump. It disturbs the normal digestive functions. Vomiting blood - Sometimes a massive hemorrhage of the gastrointestinal tract may occur. Vague abdominal fullness - This is because of the development of the lump. Premature abdominal fullness after meals: This is induced by the decreased amount of gastric space with the growth of the lump.
Abdominal lump - People can not find any lump at the beginning of the disease. When the cancer enlarges, the lump may be obvious in the abdomen.
Whole body symptoms
General decline in health- This is because of the consumption of the cancer. Weakness or fatigue - The reason is also because the cancer wastes your energy.
Infections or other health problems may also cause these symptoms. Only a doctor can tell for sure. A person with any of these symptoms should tell his/her doctor so that problems can be diagnosed and treated as early as possible.
Abdominal and whole body symptoms have no specificity. Other health problems may also cause similar symptoms. Go to see your doctor to verify your diseases as early as possible. Diseases with similar symptoms are listed in the following:
Acute or chronic gastritis Angina Cholelithiasis and cholecystitis Depression Gastric ulcer Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
