What symptoms do you have after a meal to be alert to stomach trouble?
Symptoms such as stomach pain, abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, bloody stool and burping after meals may be precursors of gastric cancer. Patients with early gastric cancer have no specific symptoms, even no symptoms, which are often found by endoscopic examination. However, bad living habits and eating habits may lead to various stomach diseases, and the continuous deterioration of the condition may develop into gastric cancer.
1. Some symptoms of postprandial discomfort may indicate that the disease is not developing well, such as postprandial stomachache, because food stimulates the gastric mucosa to oppress other tissues, affecting gastric malignant tumors and causing pain.
2. Due to canceration of gastric cells, digestive tract obstruction is formed, which leads to nausea and vomiting.
3. The canceration of the stomach will affect the intestinal function, with repeated constipation and diarrhea alternating, and occasional bloody stool symptoms:
4. Gastric cancer makes the digestive function of human body abnormal, food can't be digested normally, and there will be abdominal distension symptoms, which may also be accompanied by hiccups. If you feel unwell after a long meal, you should go to the hospital immediately to check the cause and treat it to prevent the illness from getting worse.
Reminder: Chronic atrophic gastritis is at risk of canceration.
Now the onset age of gastric cancer is getting younger and younger, and more and more young people are becoming victims of gastric cancer. Judging from the situation of young patients with gastric cancer, most of them have a history of stomach disease. Although many people's stomachache is common gastritis, there are not a few who eventually develop into gastric cancer.
Chronic atrophic gastritis is a kind of chronic gastritis. Gastroscopy showed local or extensive atrophy of the proper glands of gastric mucosa, accompanied by inflammatory reaction or intestinal metaplasia and atypical hyperplasia. With the increase of age, the incidence rate also increases, and the longer the course of disease, the more serious the lesion. If chronic atrophic gastritis is combined with incomplete colonic metaplasia or moderate to severe atypical hyperplasia, it is called precancerous lesion of gastric cancer.
For patients with atrophic gastritis, the key is to follow up with gastroscope, which can be done every 3 months to 6 months, 1 year, and dynamically observe the changes of the stomach. For example, atrophic gastritis complicated with intestinal metaplasia requires surgery in the short term (within 2 ~ 3 months). It is reported that about 6% of patients with chronic atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia may develop into gastric cancer, so people should be vigilant and follow up regularly for early detection and treatment.
At present, the newly diagnosed patients with gastric cancer in China are younger, and the main factors leading to the rapid increase in the incidence of gastric cancer in China are unreasonable diet, smoking and drinking, and great pressure on work and life. For the prevention and treatment of gastric cancer, the most important thing is to develop healthy living habits. Director Wang Sanhu, an expert on traditional Chinese medicine oncology in the southern district of Sihui, Beijing, suggested that everyone should adhere to the law of work and rest, have regular meals and implement a separate meal system; We should persist in exercising and strive to create a good attitude while maintaining good physical condition.
