Common symptoms: a feeling of fullness after eating little, nausea, vomiting, discomfort in the upper abdomen, and, in some cases, weight loss.

Common causes: it may be related to inflammation, scarring, ulcers, or growths in that area of the digestive tract, which requires evaluation to identify the cause.

The gastroenterologist evaluates the digestive tract, the general surgeon intervenes when the case warrants it, and the oncologist takes part if a tumor-related cause is suspected. If you have persistent vomiting or trouble tolerating food, it is advisable to seek medical care.
