Stomach cancer is the most dangerous complication of gastric ulcer disease with a very high mortality rate, especially when detected at a late stage. Therefore, be careful with the symptoms of gastric ulcer and treat it promptly to avoid causing early cancer.
1. Causes of gastric ulcers
According to the Gastroenterology Association, in Vietnam, up to 26% of the population suffers from gastric ulcers. Notably, the disease tends to increase and become younger than before.
Gastric ulcers can be caused by many different reasons, of which the two most common causes are:
- Infection with Helicobacter. pylori (HP bacteria): After entering the stomach, HP bacteria will penetrate the mucous layer of the stomach lining, secrete toxins that damage the stomach lining, inhibit the production of protective factors in the stomach lining, and form ulcers.
- Long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as naproxen, ibuprofen, diclofenac... will cause stomach damage and ulcers.
- In addition, there are some less common causes including:
- Increased acid secretion in the stomach.
- Zollinger-Ellison syndrome causes excess acid in the stomach.
- Some other risk factors: regularly smoking and drinking alcohol/other alcoholic beverages; stress, anxiety; irregular and unscientific eating and living habits...
2. Typical symptoms of gastric ulcers
Symptoms of gastric ulcers are very diverse, the most typical is a burning sensation, gnawing and pain in the epigastric region, the pain is more severe when the stomach is empty, without food. Some other symptoms can be mentioned as:
- Flatulence, indigestion.
- Vomiting, nausea.
- Belching, heartburn.
- Acid reflux.
- Eat quickly, lose appetite because of pain.
- Difficulty sleeping, poor sleep.
- Black or bloody stools.
- Digestive disorders: Diarrhea, constipation.
- Sudden weight loss.
- Body weakness, fatigue.
Gastric ulcers that have turned into chronic stage are very difficult to treat completely and can cause many dangerous complications, threatening the patient's life such as:
- Gastrointestinal bleeding.
- Stomach perforation.
- Pyloric stenosis.
- Stomach cancer.
In particular, the rate of cancer after gastric ulcers accounts for 5-10%. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), there are about 870,000 new cases and 650,000 deaths from this disease. In Vietnam, gastric cancer accounts for 10.6% of annual cancer cases, equivalent to 17,527 cases.
