According to doctors at Nam Can Tho University Hospital, the stomach is a vital component of the digestive system. It serves as a storage space for food and is responsible for crushing and converting food into nutrients that nourish the body. A healthy stomach is essential for maintaining a strong immune system and overall good health. Some common stomach diseases include peptic ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux, gastrointestinal bleeding, gastric antrum, and stomach cancer. The presence of H. pylori bacteria has been particularly linked to stomach cancer.
The liver is the largest organ in the body and plays an extremely important role. It acts as the body's chemical factory, metabolizing nutrients, purifying toxins, and synthesizing bile and enzymes necessary for bodily functions. However, the liver is susceptible to various diseases caused by bacteria and viruses, including Hepatitis B and C, Liver failure, Liver cancer, Cirrhosis, Liver abscess, Fatty liver, and other related diseases.
According to doctors at Nam Can Tho University Hospital, liver and stomach diseases in the early stages often do not present specific symptoms, making them easily mistaken for other common illnesses. As a result, patients often ignore them. Therefore, it is important for individuals to regularly monitor the condition of their liver and stomach to promptly detect any potential diseases and seek early treatment.
