Patient's question:
Am I suffering from gastric cancer? Am I suffering from gastric cancer? I’ve been experiencing frequent belching recently, which is quite severe. I’ve been belching all day and night. For the past 20 days, I’ve consulted traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and tried various herbal remedies, but nothing has helped. I’ve also seen Western doctors and taken a lot of medications like Domperidone, but they haven’t improved my condition much. Even trying a combination of TCM and Western medicine hasn’t had any effect.Symptoms: Occasional dizziness, black stools, nausea, a feeling of fullness in the stomach, stomach pain in the upper abdomen in the past two days, and widespread bone pain. Is this gastric cancer? (I hate eating fried food). I desperately need an answer from a doctor!!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, have you ever vomited before? Was it food or something like coffee? Black stool? Have you eaten anything unusual in the past two days? Get a routine stool test. Check a blood test to see if you're anemic. Also, have an endoscopy. If it doesn't work, then consider a colonoscopy. At your age, cancer or gastric cancer is not the primary concern, and the condition is not severe. It is recommended that the patient receive timely symptomatic treatment and follow the doctor's advice. At the same time, pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
