Sushi for pregnant woman

I would say no. Although the chances of getting a Parasitic infection from eating Sushi are slim, the consequences are severe enough that you wouldn't want to take the risk.

Parasites live in the meat of raw fish. While Sushi chefs are very careful, that doesn't mean they detect every single Parasite. And because Pregnancy suppresses your immune system, you're much more susceptible to serious illness from any food-borne organism.

A Parasitic infection probably couldn't get through the placental barrier, but a Parasitic infection could give you liver or Gastrointestinal problems that might then affect your baby. Some Parasitic infections can lead to Anemia or serious Malnourishment in the mother or even cause miscarriage.

There's also the risk of eating fish that has a marine toxin in it. Bluefish, Mackerel, Mahi-mahi, and Tuna can carry a Histamine toxin that may cause flushing, dizziness, and burning of the mouth and throat.

How will my doctor know if I have stomach cancer?

There are some commonly used procedures to detect Stomach Cancer once it has been determined that risk factors or symptoms are present.

To Diagnose Stomach Cancer, a Physician will conduct a complete Medical History, a Physical Examination and laboratory studies that may include a Fecal Occult Blood Test or a Complete Blood Count (CBC).

For a Fecal Occult Blood Test, a Stool Sample is examined for hidden (Occult) blood, since Stomach Cancer can sometimes cause Bleeding that cannot be seen.

However, other conditions can cause Bleeding, so having blood in the stool does not necessarily mean a person has Stomach Cancer.

A doctor may perform a CBC to determine if a patient has Anemia, which is a risk factor for Stomach Cancer.

What are the symptoms of bone cancer?

The symptoms of Bone Cancer vary from person to person, depending on the location and size of the cancer.

Pain is the most common symptom.

Tumors that occur in or near joints may cause swelling or tenderness in the affected area.

Bone Cancer can also interfere with normal movements and can weaken the bones, occasionally leading to a fracture.

Other symptoms may include Fatigue, Fever, Weight Loss, and Anemia.

None of these symptoms is a sure sign of cancer.

They may also be caused by other, less serious conditions.

If you have these symptoms, you should consult a doctor.
