What are the reasons for delayed gastric emptying?

Diabetes mellitus is easy to lead to delayed gastric emptying. Delayed gastric emptying refers to gastric motility disorder syndrome, which is caused by non mechanical obstruction after abdominal surgery. Once it occurs, it often lasts for several weeks or even longer.

The number of patients who stopped gastrointestinal decompression, took liquid diet or changed from liquid diet to semi liquid diet within a few days after operation was more than that of patients who developed upper abdominal fullness, discomfort, nausea, vomiting and intractable hiccup. Delayed gastric emptying is common in anorexia nervosa. It has been reported that nausea, vomiting, gastric dilatation, and even perforation during eating occur in this disease（

Hypotonia may occur after gastric surgery. The incidence of this complication is about 5%, ranging from 1.25% in vagotomy and pyloroplasty to 9% in vagotomy and subtotal gastrectomy. Gastric distention and obstruction can not be treated as an emergency because hypotension is more likely to occur after operation.

matters needing attention

Reasonable diet treatment can not only alleviate the symptoms of diabetic gastroparesis, but also help to control blood sugar. Regular eating is the basic treatment of diabetes mellitus complicated with gastroparesis. Patients should avoid eating too much, eat regularly and quantitatively every day, and eat a small amount of food.
