Jaundice

In advanced cases, stomach cancer may lead to jaundice, characterized by yellowing of the skin and eyes. Jaundice occurs when the liver is unable to process bilirubin adequately, often due to obstruction of the bile ducts by tumors.

Frequent Heartburn

While occasional heartburn is common, persistent or recurrent heartburn may indicate gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which is a risk factor for stomach cancer. If you experience frequent heartburn, especially if it worsens over time, consult a healthcare provider.

Changes in Bowel Habits

Changes in bowel habits, such as persistent diarrhea or constipation, may signal an underlying gastrointestinal issue, including stomach cancer. If you notice significant changes in your bowel movements that persist for several weeks, seek medical advice.

Feeling Full Quickly

Early satiety, or feeling full quickly after eating small amounts of food, can be a warning sign of stomach cancer. If you consistently experience early satiety without a clear explanation, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
