Question
3 years ago I had half of my stomach removed because I had early stage stomach cancer. I don't have chemotherapy. Since then, my stomach has been unstable sometimes, defecation at times, sometimes involuntary. There were times when my stomach was lumpy and spasming. I took many drugs. At least 4 times a year I have a follow-up examination, but each time the results are ulcers of the mouth and the rest of the stomach. I would like to ask if constipation, bowel incontinence, abdominal lumps, cramps after gastric cancer surgery need treatment? What should I do?
