And the Cleveland Health Clinic website quoted surgeon Daniel Joyce, the most prominent symptoms of this type of cancer, as follows:
Stomach bloating: One of the early signs of stomach cancer is excessive stomach bloating. So much so that a person may look like they are nine months pregnant.
In milder cases, the cancer makes the stomach wall too rigid, reducing its ability to store, and causing fluid to build up in the stomach. Which leads to bloating.
Heartburn: Who among us has not experienced heartburn following eating a meal steeped in spices? Heartburn is common and there is no cause for concern, according to “Sky News Arabia”.
But if a person has long-term heartburn, it doesn’t go away with antacids or other medications. There may be cause for concern.
Nausea and vomiting: nausea and vomiting are signs of a mass growing inside the stomach; So much so that it blocks part of the gastric outlet.
– General feeling of discomfort: people with this cancer have a feeling of discomfort; This is as a result of the spread of cancerous tumors in the lining of the abdomen, and the feeling may seem like bloating.
– Unexpected weight loss: weight loss comes as a result of physical efforts or food reduction; But losing weight for no reason is a likely sign of stomach cancer, and perhaps the most worrying symptom.
Fatigue: This symptom appears as a result of slow blood loss, which, along with unexplained weight loss, can be a sign of cancer.
Blood in the stool: This symptom is less common than others, and it occurs if a person is losing a lot of blood. But if the bleeding is very slow, You may not notice anything in the stool.
An irrational feeling of satiety: the early feeling comes following eating a small amount of food, and the small amount is measured at regarding 20% of the total normal meal a person eats.
