You will get to know the answer to this question in this video by very well renowned and one of the best stomach cancer surgeons Dr. Praveen Kammar ( MBBS. MS. MCH ) who has done more than 5000 cancer surgeries
Many patients come to acidity with chronic acidity problems and ask whether they will get cancer due to this. The short answer is yes they can.
Don’t worry, in this video, you will get all the scientific information regarding this.
First of all, let's understand what is chronic acidity?
Acidity is when stomach acid or bile flows into the food pipe to cause irritation or burning pain in the chest. And when it persists for more than two weeks then it is called chronic acidity.
So along with the burning chest pain following are acidity symptoms
1. Sore throat
2. Vomiting
3. Indigestion
4. Bitter bleches
5. Difficulty in swallowing
6. Gas problems
If you see the above symptoms then it's very rare that you might have cancer but following diseases might be presents (Stomach cancer symptoms)
1. Gastritis
2. Hiatus hernia
3. Gastroesophageal reflux disease
4. Stomach ulcers
If you have a hiatus hernia then you have absolutely zero chance of getting stomach cancer but in the rest of the three diseases, there are chances that they might get turned into cancer if they are long standing and untreated.
So to understand the real underlying disease behind the chronic acidity doctor might perform a few tests as below
1. Endoscopy
2. Biopsy
Acidity might also be caused do the infection of the bacteria named helical bacteria. If not treated well then it might get converted into cancer. So if you have acidity then get an endoscopy done and during the endoscopy test for the helicopter bacteria and treat accordingly.
Please mind not every chronic acidity is stomach cancer so visit your doctor for acidity problems before jumping to any conclusion.
