Patient's question:
I had acute gastroenteritis a year ago. My stomach wasn't good to begin with, so after getting acute gastroenteritis, I went to the hospital and got an injection. Recently, I've eaten a lot but haven't gained any weight. No one in my family has had cancer, so I suspect I might have gastric cancer. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the gastric mucosal epithelium, commonly found in men over the age of 50. The common causes include living environment, Helicobacter pylori infection, precancerous lesions, hereditary transmission, and genetic factors.It is recommended that you are still young, so you may not have gastric cancer, but you could have gastric or duodenal ulcers. You should go to a regular hospital's department of gastroenterology for a thorough examination and treatment. In addition to medication for treating gastritis, patients also need to pay attention to nursing care, such as proper diet and maintaining a positive mood.
At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic outcome.
