The patient feels nauseous before vomiting blood, feels the urge to defecate before having bloody stools, and has black eyes, panic attacks, and even fainting after defecation. The patient looks pale, is thirsty, has a rapid and weak pulse, and has low blood pressure. Patients with ulcer disease often experience regular upper abdominal pain, which can be relieved by alkaline drugs. X-ray barium meal examination is of great significance in the diagnosis of ulcer disease. In addition to the possibility of feeling a mass, gastric cancer patients also have obvious symptoms such as loss of appetite, upper abdominal discomfort, indigestion, and weight loss, and the disease progresses rapidly.
