What are the symptoms of chronic gastric perforation?

The main symptoms of chronic gastric perforation include: 1. Abdominal pain: Characterized by severe pain in the upper abdomen, which may radiate to the back or both sides of the rib cage, and is persistent and recurrent. 2. Abdominal tenderness: There is obvious tenderness in the affected area, particularly noticeable after eating or maintaining the same posture for a prolonged period. 3. Nausea and vomiting: Due to stomach discomfort and dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract, patients often experience nausea, which may be accompanied by vomiting, sometimes with vomitus containing gastric contents. 4. Abdominal distension: Chronic gastric perforation may lead to impaired gastric emptying, causing food to ferment in the stomach and produce gas, resulting in abdominal distension. 5. Other symptoms: Additional symptoms such as constipation and loss of appetite may also occur concurrently.
