Patient's question:
Every time after meals, I experience stomach pain, bloating, nausea, and heartburn. There's a pain point on the left side of my stomach. I often wake up between 1 and 3 a.m. and feel leg weakness. Hello, is it possible I have stomach cancer?Doctor's answer:
It is difficult to accurately determine how gastric cancer is, because these symptoms are not specific and can also be seen in various different gastrointestinal diseases, such as peptic ulcers, etc. It is recommended to undergo a gastroscopy for a thorough examination. For patients with severe stomach bloating, it is advised to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Do not change medications arbitrarily, otherwise the effect may be counterproductive. Additionally, it is necessary to advise patients to pay more attention to rest and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
