Case: Mr. Zhang is 42 years old and began to burp frequently about six months ago. “Every time I burped after eating, it felt like something was bloating in my chest and stomach, which was especially uncomfortable.” Mr. Zhang said he had not sought medical attention because the hiccups did not affect his life too much. Until not long ago he felt stomach pain and went to the hospital for examination, the result was actually stomach cancer.
1.Easy to flatulence, digestive tract problems
Occasionally eating too much and having a few burps with a full stomach is nothing, but the problem of sudden increase in burping may not be pure. If you burp frequently and the frequency suddenly increases a lot, you should be worried about digestive tract lesions.
Clinically, it is common for patients with acute gastroenteritis to suffer from inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, which leads to changes in the intestinal flora and an increase in the distribution of bad bacteria, causing more gas in the gastrointestinal tract and causing patients to burp more than once; in patients with intestinal adhesion, intestinal obstruction or intestinal tumors, the disease itself affects normal intestinal peristalsis and causes poor bowel movement, making it impossible for gas to go down and only upward, causing patients to burp all the time.
In addition, since the main function of bile is to digest fats and proteins, gallstone patients often cannot secrete bile normally due to stones, which affects the decomposition and metabolism of fats and proteins, and when they consume foods rich in fats or proteins, they are prone to metabolic dyspepsia, resulting in easy gas production, resulting in flatulence and abnormal burping.
2, there is no gas, will hold bad organs
Those who are prone to flatulence may be related to slow gastrointestinal peristalsis, or they may have too much gas production in the intestines or indigestion due to aging of the body. Once the body’s digestive capacity becomes poor, the body will become more food residues, which will be broken down by intestinal bacteria will produce a lot of gas. Clinically, we have encountered many patients who suddenly changed to a vegetarian diet in order to lose weight, and as a result, they ate all the indigestible foods such as five-grain rice, groundnuts, beans and peanuts, making their stomachs too bloated to bear.
Lack of exercise is also the main cause of the gastrointestinal tract peristalsis too slow. Those who exercise less, those who often eat angry food, the elderly, those with constipation and those with lactose intolerance are most likely to suffer from flatulence. Gastrointestinal determines a person’s health, it is recommended to get up early and take a walk and move your muscles, which can promote blood circulation and revitalize the digestive system, and then wake up the function of the gastrointestinal tract.
3.Beware of cancerous lesions if you burp frequently
The nerve center that causes hiccups is in the brainstem. When you eat too much at once and your stomach suddenly swells up, it is easy to stimulate the sensory nerves on the stomach wall and send messages to the brainstem, causing a hiccup response. When people eat too much at once or eat too much spicy food, it may cause hiccups, which are normal physiological reactions.
However, when hiccups are so frequent that they interfere with sleep and rest, or when they are combined with acid reflux, chest tightness and chest pain, or when they are frequent for more than a week a day, they may be “etiologic hiccups” and should be checked by a doctor immediately.
Rapid weight loss in a short period of time is often the first sign of cancer. Sudden weight loss is most common in breast cancer and lung cancer patients, others include liver cancer and bowel cancer. If you do not exercise or lose weight but inexplicably lose 10% of your body weight, you should seek medical attention promptly.
Infections in the body can lead to fever, and unexplained persistent fever can be a sign of cancerous conditions such as lymphoma. Leukemia may also cause recurrent infections, fatigue, pain and other flu-like symptoms.
A variety of cancers can cause such symptoms. If you feel weak and tired despite adequate sleep and rest, you should see your doctor.
1. Severe, pronounced shortness of breath, chest pain or coughing up blood may be symptoms of lung cancer.
2.Symptoms similar to cough or bronchitis may be symptoms of leukemia and lung cancer. Chest pain may also extend to the shoulder and arm. Cough and hoarseness for more than 6 weeks should be beware of laryngeal cancer, thyroid cancer, esophageal cancer or lung cancer.
3.Inexplicable abdominal distension should be borne in mind for ovarian cancer. Severe pelvic distension may also be a common symptom of fibroids, ovarian cysts and other reproductive system diseases. In addition, inexplicable stomach pain or bloating after meals may be a sign of stomach cancer.
4. Long-term heartburn (heartburn) should be investigated whether it is caused by excessive stomach acid, and then the possibility of esophageal cancer and liver cancer should be investigated.
5.Patients with bowel cancer have more frequent stools and have the feeling of unclean. The early symptom of pancreatic cancer is that the stool is white and smells strange.
6.More often related to esophageal cancer and laryngeal cancer, difficulty in swallowing is sometimes one of the early symptoms of lung cancer.
7.Sudden yellowing of skin or whites of eyes is mainly considered as liver or gallbladder disease, but it may also be a symptom of pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma and liver cancer.
8.Abnormal masses in breast, testicles, groin, neck, abdomen, armpit or other parts of the body should be promptly investigated for cancer risk by doctor.
9.The appearance of new spots on the skin, changes in moles, skin sores that do not heal for a long time, scabs but bleed easily should be considered as skin cancer.
10.The appearance of brown or black stripes or spots under the nails should be considered as skin cancer. Suddenly larger finger ends and bent nails may be symptoms of lung cancer. Significant whitening of nails is sometimes a sign of liver cancer.
11. Such pain and heavy feeling in the pelvis may be a symptom of ovarian cancer. Infertile women, women with family history of ovarian cancer, breast cancer or colon cancer, and women diagnosed with breast cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer or uterine cancer are at greater risk of developing ovarian cancer.
12.Inexplicable pain lasting for more than 4 weeks should be considered as bone cancer or testicular cancer.
13.Blood in urine may be a symptom of urinary tract infection, bladder cancer or kidney cancer.
14.Blood in stool may be both hemorrhoid and bowel cancer symptom.
15.Abnormal vaginal bleeding between menstrual cycles of women may be a symptom of endometrial cancer.
16.Spitting blood and coughing up blood should be beware of stomach cancer, esophageal cancer or lung cancer.
17.Excessive bruising or bleeding may be a symptom of leukemia.
