Quick Czech! 4 After-Meal Signs That Could Be "Stomach Cancer"

Because the initial symptoms of gastric cancer are often similar to those of common gastritis, over 65% of patients often have a chronic gastritis history of more than four years. If you have these symptoms after eating, don't be complacent:

Continuous bloating and not getting better: Feeling "tight," even eating a little, sluggish for more than 2 hours, take a digestive promotional drug and do not heal, especially if burps with a rotten food smell are involved.

Nausea, vomiting, or blackening: Having nausea after a meal, or vomiting resembles an overnight food waste or coffee color (a sign of gastric bleeding).

Upper abdominal hot pain: especially if changing from temporary pain to continuous pain, more pain at night, and taking acid-reducing pills and then not getting better.

Too full too fast and weight loss: Feeling hungry but eating a few words is "full," anorexia of foods that used to be enjoyed (such as meat), and weight loss exceeds 5% within 1-2 months.

Professor Tien Avi of Peking University Hospital advised the following groups of people to be examined:

1. Hylori infection: This infection causes repeated inflammation so that the lining cells can change to cancer.

2. People who like to eat salty, organized: salty food, encourage chronic gastritis to become a tumor.

3. Family Historian: If a family has a gastrointestinal cancer, endoscopy should be examined even if they have no symptoms.

4. People over 50 years old: Even without symptoms, they should be examined because the lining of the stomach begins to atrophy with age. (Screening is recommended from the age of 40 to 50 years old)

5. People with blood tests abnormal gastric function: such as abnormal Gastrin-17 or Pepsinogen, which indicates chronic gastritis.

6. People with obvious symptoms: such as frequent abdominal pain, chest burning, or acid reflux, should rush to the laparoscopy to make a definitive diagnosis.
