Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach has a dull ache, and sometimes I experience heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was fine for a while, but then it started again. Is there a connection between stomach cancer and pyloric obstruction?Doctor's answer:
The tumor in the stomach or causing nausea is closely related to pyloric obstruction. As the tumor grows invasively, it can lead to a pyloric mass and result in intestinal obstruction. If the obstruction is not relieved, the necessary treatment is palliative surgery to remove the tumor. Post-surgery, chemotherapy should be administered in coordination. However, if surgery is not an option, a fistula surgery may be considered. If your condition is relatively stable, chemotherapy can be coordinated. It is recommended that you follow up with a gastroenterologist. The doctor will address the specific situation accordingly.
