Does the fetus have gastric distention

summary

I have been pregnant for more than five months, and every month I go to the hospital regularly for prenatal examination, so that I can check the baby's growth status at any time, and find out any problems in time. For gastric distention you will certainly not feel strange, now I will tell you that the fetus will have gastric distention.

Does the fetus have gastric distention

* first: gastric distension refers to a group of syndromes caused by the accumulation of large amounts of gas or liquid in the stomach and duodenum, or food retention, resulting in a high expansion of the upper portion of the stomach and duodenum. The main cause of the disease is some postoperative complications, overeating, long-term supine patients and frail elderly patients. The main clinical manifestation is acute gastric distention.

Second: surgical trauma, anesthesia and surgery, especially abdominal and pelvic surgery and vagotomy, can directly stimulate the body or visceral nerve, causing gastric autonomic nerve dysfunction, gastric wall reflex inhibition, resulting in gastric smooth muscle relaxation, and then form expansion. During anesthesia, endotracheal intubation, postoperative oxygen and nasogastric feeding can also make a large amount of gas enter the stomach and form dilatation.

Third *: gastric disease, incarcerated hiatal hernia, duodenal stasis caused by various causes, duodenal tumors, foreign bodies, etc. can cause gastric retention and acute gastric dilatation. The lesions near pylorus, such as spinal deformity, annular pancreas and pancreatic cancer, can cause gastric distention. The imbalance of water and electrolyte metabolism and severe infection (such as sepsis) can affect gastric tension and gastric emptying, leading to acute gastric dilatation.

matters needing attention

Fetal growth and development are particularly important, but it can not avoid some fetal diseases in the abdomen. Although we know that gastric distention mainly occurs in adults, but the fetus may also suffer from gastric distention, so pregnant women must insist on going to the hospital for prenatal examination.
