Risk Of Cancer ?
Stomach gas is a common and usually harmless condition that causes burping, bloating, and discomfort. But did you know that in some cases, stomach gas can also be a sign of a serious disease that increases your risk of cancer?
H. pylori infection causes stomach gas, chronic inflammation, ulcers, and increase your chances of developing stomach cancer.
Acid reflux (GERD) causes stomach gas, leading to heartburn, belching, and esophagus damage. It also increases esophageal cancer risk.
Stomach gas may indicate digestive system cancers (pancreatic, colon, liver). Watch for bowel changes, appetite, weight, abdominal pain, and excess gas.
Persistent or severe stomach gas requires medical attention. Consult your doctor for tests to identify the cause and rule out serious conditions. Treatment may include antibiotics, antacids, or other remedies.
