Signs And Symptoms Of Stomach Cancer

Persistent Fatigue

Individuals with stomach cancer may also find they are more fatigued than what would be considered normal. This may seem like an unusual symptom to appear with stomach cancer, but there is a big reason for it. Stomach cancer, we know, causes problems with an individual’s ability to digest food properly in many ways. When individuals do not digest enough food, they cannot get the nutrients they need for the cells in their body to function normally. One such nutrient is glucose. Not getting enough glucose means the cells cannot produce enough energy for the body, causing fatigue.

In addition to this, cancerous cells require nutrients like glucose and oxygen to grow and multiply. Because they do this at fast rates, they often take the nutrients healthy cells need, once again leaving those cells short. When there is an energy shortage in the body, the energy that does exist is directed to vital organs to keep them functioning instead of the limbs.
