What are the symptoms of gastric perforation?

Gastric perforation refers to a rupture in the stomach wall that allows stomach contents to enter the abdominal cavity. This condition can cause a series of distinct symptoms. The main manifestations include: 1. Severe abdominal pain: Usually sudden and intense abdominal pain, often occurring in the upper abdomen or epigastric region, and may rapidly spread to the entire abdomen. The degree of pain is often extremely severe, even unbearable. 2. Abdominal tension: Due to infection or inflammation within the abdominal cavity, the abdominal muscles may become stiff or tense, with a distinct tight feeling upon touch. 3. Other symptoms: Including nausea, vomiting, fever, increased heart rate, and low blood pressure. Systemic symptoms caused by intra-abdominal infection may manifest as elevated body temperature, pallor, and collapse. If the above symptoms occur, immediate medical attention is required. Gastric perforation is an acute medical emergency that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent further abdominal infection or serious complications.
