Persistent indigestion
Indigestion is a problem that many people experience, but if it persists, it could be a sign of stomach cancer. If you often feel bloated, have heartburn or have difficulty swallowing at night, you should pay attention and see a doctor for a diagnosis.
Unexplained weight loss
If you lose weight without changing your diet or exercise habits, it is a cause for concern. This weight loss may occur because cancer prevents your body from absorbing nutrients effectively.
Stomach ache at night
Persistent or worsening stomach pain can be a sign of stomach cancer. This pain may present as a dull ache or a sharp pain, often accompanied by other digestive problems.
Sudden loss of appetite
If you feel full after eating only a small amount or find that you suddenly lose interest in food, these changes are worth paying attention to. It could be that you have a stomach problem, or that the cancer is affecting your digestive system, leading to early satiety or loss of appetite.
Nausea and vomiting at night
Persistent nausea may occur if the tumor appears to be obstructing the digestive tract. If nausea or vomiting occurs frequently without a known cause, you should consult a doctor.
Anemia or lack of red blood cells
Symptoms of fatigue, weakness and pale skin can warn the body of anemia, a lack of red blood cells due to stomach problems. Regular blood tests should be done to help monitor levels and detect any abnormalities early.
