Dr. Shen Yonghua
The early signs of chronic gastric perforation mainly include:
1. Upper abdominal pain: Initially, the pain may be localized to a specific area, but as the perforation develops, the pain becomes more severe and may spread to other regions, even causing intense pain throughout the entire abdomen.
2. Nausea and vomiting: As the condition worsens, symptoms of nausea and vomiting gradually appear. The vomit may contain brownish substances and have a foul odor.
3. Systemic symptoms: Patients may experience cold sweats, cold extremities, and pallor. In severe cases, the pulse rate increases, blood pressure drops, and difficulty breathing may occur.
