7 Warning signs of stomach cancer

Doctors believe that stomach cancer may be difficult to diagnose in its early stages, as its clinical signs may be tricky and common with many other GIT disturbances. So, here you are some warning signs that you should keep in mind for early diagnosis of stomach cancer.

1. Loss of body weight accompanied with loss of appetite.
2. Frequent blood in the stool or vomit.
3. Continuous fatigue; either due to anemia (blood loss) or loss of weight.
4.  Abdominal distension (fullness sensation) in spite of eating small amounts of food.
5. Chronic change in your bowl habits (diarrhea of constipation).
6. Persistent GIT symptoms such as nausea or indigestion.
7. Acute GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux disease).

These signs may be caused by any GIT illness rather than stomach cancer, so the best strategy in these such cases is medical consultation.

Finally, to lower risk of stomach cancer, it's advised not to eat processed food and follow plant-based diet.
