Question
Is frequent burping a precursor to stomach cancer?
Answer
According to the description, the inquirer has poor gastric digestion and was diagnosed with gastritis seven years ago. In the past two years, after changing their breakfast habits, they have started experiencing burping symptoms, which occur regardless of whether they are eating or drinking, along with discomfort in the stomach. Medication for the stomach has been ineffective. The inquirer is worried that this could be a precursor to stomach cancer.
Analysis
The inquirer’s symptoms may be indicative of gastritis or indigestion rather than a precursor to stomach cancer. However, if symptoms such as vomiting blood or having bloody stools occur, further examination should be considered to rule out the possibility of stomach cancer.
