Recently, a sad news has attracted the attention of Doctor Xiaokang.
On March 12, --- Suzhman, a young dancer from Inner Mongolia who had been battling stomach cancer for eight months, died at the age of 28, and his mother posted a tribute on the video platform.
Dr. Xiaokang had previously followed this optimistic girl, who had won the silver medal of the Lotus Award, the highest award in Chinese dance, and was also the overall champion of Miss Tourism China.
As early as 8 months ago, it was found that the stomach cancer was advanced, although the conservative Jibin and chemotherapy side effects before her death, but this little girl has been recording her anti-cancer process on the video platform, and her optimistic attitude makes the well-off doctor have to admire.
However, fate is cruel, the little girl has undergone 8 times of chemotherapy, but finally failed to overcome the disease.
Stomach cancer at a young age is likely to be a genetic problem
Young people's stomach cancer is actually more special, or medically can not be able to prevent, early detection, most of them are purely randomly landed on the body, can be said in layman's terms----- may be life!
The only thing that can remind everyone is that if your family has an immediate family member who has cancer before the age of 40, then you need to consult the relevant doctor in time to pay attention to whether the family lineage carries the relevant genetic mutation.
In addition to genes, most stomach cancers are "dragged out"
Stomach cancer is a disease after the malignant transformation of gastric mucosal cells, that is, a malignant tumor that occurs in the stomach.
So far, stomach cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the mainland, according to some statistics, most stomach cancer patients do not have obvious symptoms in the early stage, so gastric cancer is also known as "invisible killer".
Because stomach disease is a chronic disease, some people with stomach disease can be relieved quickly by taking medicine when they are uncomfortable, so they may have become accustomed to this disease and did not take it as a thing.
In the early stage of stomach cancer, what abnormal symptoms will occur in the body?
First, there is blood in the vomit
Vomiting of varying degrees, which is a common symptom of stomach problems.
However, some people's vomit will be mixed with coffee-colored or dark red blood, sometimes the amount may be too small for patients to pay attention to, and bleeding is a more obvious symptom in the early stage of gastric cancer.
If you can pass the gastroscopy in time, or use feces for occult blood test, early detection and timely treatment, the disease can be better controlled.
Second, there is significant emaciation in body shape
Patients in the early stages of stomach cancer will have obvious symptoms of anorexia, people are prone to fatigue and loss of appetite, as well as indigestion diarrhea.
Especially after eating meat, the symptoms will be more severe, prone to nausea and vomiting, which will lead to malnutrition and weight loss in patients, and there will be more obvious symptoms of weight loss.
The patient's condition did not improve significantly after taking the drug, so he should go to the doctor as soon as possible.
Third, the pain is aggravated
According to some clinical surveys, most patients with early gastric cancer will have epigastric pain problems.
And some patients with chronic stomach disease when the abdomen pain, they do not pay attention, did not go to the hospital in time to check and treat, the result led to more serious consequences.
Over time, the condition became severe, and the patient's abdomen continued to ache even at night when he slept. At this time, it means that the stomach disease has worsened.
Gastroscopic screening is the most important means of early detection of gastric cancer
As with other cancers, early treatment survival rates are improved, with a 5-year survival rate of more than 90% for stomach cancers found early.
In order to detect gastric cancer early, the most important means is gastrointestinal endoscopy, through gastroscopy can observe the mucous membrane on the surface of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum, so as to help doctors understand whether there are ulcers, lump bulges and varicose blood vessel formation in the digestive tract.
Therefore, if you have these phenomena in your daily life, or if your immediate family members have stomach cancer, and patients who have previously been examined to show high-risk factors, then you need to firmly believe in gastroscopy regularly in order to detect early gastric cancer in time.
As the saying goes: "Three points of the body depend on governance, and seven points depend on nourishment."
The occurrence of stomach diseases is generally caused by the patient's irregular life and improper diet.
Regular work and rest, do not stay up late, and to develop healthy eating habits, three meals a day to be normal, do not eat irritating food, can greatly reduce the incidence of stomach diseases.
