Signs And Symptoms Of Stomach Cancer

Nausea And Vomiting

As mentioned, stomach tumors take up room in the stomach, reducing what’s available for food. This delays the stomach emptying and is fairly painful. It also triggers a fair amount of nausea in the patients. Many patients find this may be relieved by vomiting. In addition to this, the food stuck in the stomach can ferment. When this happens, harmful bacteria often grow in the stomach, which can also result in nausea and vomiting. Another reason why nausea and vomiting occur due to stomach cancer is the food sitting in the stomach may also form a bezoar that causes an obstruction. A stomach tumor bleeding will also irritate the stomach and force nausea and vomiting.
