Symptoms of stomach cancer can be difficult to detect because they reflect other, less serious stomach conditions.<\/p>\n

However, this reinforces the importance of not dismissing symptoms as ‘nothing serious’ without consulting your GP.<\/p>\n

Although statistically the symptoms are much more likely to be a digestive problem than stomach cancer, you should see a health professional to rule out cancer and get treatment for your symptoms.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

What are the most common symptoms of stomach cancer?<\/h2>\n

According to the NHS, many of the symptoms of stomach cancer can affect your digestion.<\/p>\n

These may include:\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Heartburn or acid reflux<\/li>\n
  • Having trouble swallowing (dysphagia)<\/li>\n
  • feeling or being sick<\/li>\n
  • Symptoms of indigestion, such as burping a lot<\/li>\n
  • Feeling full very quickly when eating<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Other symptoms can affect your overall health, such as:\n<\/p>\n

      \n
    • loss of appetite<\/li>\n
    • lose weight without trying<\/li>\n
    • A lump in the upper part of the belly<\/li>\n
    • Pain in the upper part of the belly<\/li>\n
    • Feeling tired or without energy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Some people with digestive conditions or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) may experience symptoms like these on a regular basis, but if you notice worsening symptoms or anything out of the ordinary for you, it’s worth getting checked out.\n<\/p>\n

      It’s especially important to watch out for these symptoms if you’re a man over the age of 75, as this puts you in the highest risk category, but anyone who is concerned should see a doctor.\n<\/p>\n

      What will happen at the doctor’s appointment?<\/h2>\n

      If you go to the doctor with concerns about your stomach, the GP will examine your belly and look for lumps.\n<\/p>\n

      The GP will have to ask you questions about your symptoms: try not to feel embarrassed, this is your day to day.\n<\/p>\n

      It can be helpful to make a note of your symptoms beforehand, tracking when they started and whether they have gotten progressively worse.\n<\/p>\n

      They may also ask you for a urine or stool sample and may ask you to have a blood test.\n<\/p>\n

      If your doctor suspects that you may have a condition causing your symptoms, you may be referred for an appointment with a specialist.\n<\/p>\n

      The NHS says: \u201cThis may be an urgent referral, usually within 2 weeks, if you have certain symptoms.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

      \u00abThis definitely does NOT mean you have cancer.\u00bb<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
