What color is the stool of stomach cancer?

Patients with gastric cancer are more likely to experience black stool symptoms in the middle and late stages. At this time, the black stool is black and sticky in color, with a shiny surface. Patients do not eat special foods or take any special medicines. The black stool symptoms are caused by gastric cancer. Patients must go to a professional hospital for examination in time and receive treatment immediately after diagnosis.

Because gastric cancer is usually accompanied by gastrointestinal bleeding, if the amount of bleeding is about 5 to 50 ml, the blood will mix with the stool for a long time and turn into dark brown, commonly known as asphalt stool. In the early stage of gastric cancer, the stool color is green, because gastric cancer is related to indigestion at ordinary times, which will form green and odor.

What medicine should I take after gastric cancer surgery?

The gastrointestinal function of gastric cancer patients is significantly weakened after surgery. It is recommended to eat some soft and easily digestible food, eat small and frequent meals, and it is not recommended to lie down immediately after a meal. It is recommended to raise the upper body about 20-30 degrees when sleeping to prevent reflux symptoms.

If the patient is anemic, some vitamin C can be supplemented with ferrous succinate for treatment. Targeted drugs can be taken after gastric cancer surgery.

How long does it take for gastric cancer to go from early stage to middle stage?

It may take about a year for gastric cancer to develop from the early stage to the middle stage. Generally speaking, the early stage of gastric cancer has a relatively small mass and usually has no symptoms. As the disease progresses, the mass gradually increases in size, and there may be lymph node metastasis around the mass, and it develops to the middle stage.

However, it should be emphasized that in order to prevent further progression of the patient's condition and for the patient's health, once the patient is diagnosed with gastric cancer, the patient must not delay the treatment and must go to a regular hospital as soon as possible, undergo active preoperative examinations and preparations, eliminate surgical contraindications, and conduct surgical evaluation and surgical treatment.

Patients with mid-stage gastric cancer may have some clinical symptoms, mainly abdominal pain, such as swelling, dull pain, and even indigestion, nausea, and vomiting.
