When the intestines in your body move, it will cause the gas and liquid inside to flow together, which will result in an intermittent gurgling sound, called bowel sounds, which is 4~5 times per minute for normal people.
If the bowel sounds are greater than 10 per minute, they are called active bowel sounds. It is common in cases of hunger; after taking laxatives, acute gastroenteritis or gastrointestinal bleeding. If the tone is high-pitched, or even appears to be similar to the sound of metal, it is called hyperactive bowel sounds, which can be seen in acute intestinal obstruction and other conditions.
Clinical manifestations of gastrointestinal tumors include abdominal pain, loss of appetite, lethargy, fatigue, weight loss and so on. If the size of the gastrointestinal tumor is large, it may block the intestinal tract and cause intestinal obstruction, resulting in the manifestation of hyperactive bowel sounds. Endoscopy, CT examination, and tumor markers are helpful for diagnosis.
Starvation, gastrointestinal inflammation, bleeding, obstruction, tumor, etc. may cause active or hyperactive bowel sounds. Therefore stomach rumbling is not necessarily cancer. Therefore if the patient is unwell, please seek medical advice.
