Hello! Sudden weight loss is one of the alarm symptoms that require endoscopy to screen for a stomach cancer. Accompanied by your mother, there are accompanying digestive symptoms: bloating, indigestion. However, your mother should also see a doctor for a more comprehensive examination and advice, to find out the cause of weight loss.
Your mother should go for a gastroscopy at a reputable medical facility or one of the hospitals under the Vinmec Health System nationwide as soon as possible.
