What are the early symptoms of gastric ulcer? What symptoms may be gastric ulcer? How to find and prevent gastric ulcer? Let's take a look at the introduction of gastric ulcer. The common manifestations of gastric ulcer are as follows:
(1) Abdominal pain: gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer similar, often with abdominal pain performance. The abdominal pain site of gastric body ulcer is often on the left side of the midline of the upper abdomen or the left upper abdomen; for the ulcer located in the high position of the lesser curvature of the stomach, the ulcer of the cardia or the bottom of the stomach, the pain can appear in the lower left part of the anterior chest; when the gastric ulcer is located in the posterior wall or penetrates the pancreas backward, the back pain can appear. The pain location of gastric ulcer is not as limited as duodenal ulcer.
(2) Weight loss: many patients with gastric ulcer have obvious weight loss, which is the result of reduced calorie intake. Patients with gastric ulcer often have abdominal pain after eating, but no pain after not eating. Therefore, in order to reduce the pain, patients would rather eat less or not. Because the type and amount of food are related to pain, patients often choose food or reduce the amount of food too carefully. For this reason, a long-term lack of calorie intake will lead to weight loss and even malnutrition. Weight loss is sometimes quite significant. If it occurs in patients over 40 years old, it may even make clinicians suspect malignant tumor.
(3) Bleeding: gastric ulcer is easier to bleed than duodenal ulcer, and the amount of bleeding is large, easy to relapse.
In addition, some patients may have no symptoms at all, and they are only found to have gastric ulcer by chance or autopsy after death; a few patients are only found to have serious complications such as perforation, bleeding and pyloric obstruction. The physical examination of these patients showed no positive signs. In addition, there are some atypical symptoms, such as loss of appetite, fullness after meals, nausea, vomiting and so on. The appearance of these symptoms does not necessarily mark the occurrence of pyloric obstruction. It should be differentiated clinically.
