What symptom does gastroptosis have?

summary

Gastroptosis is due to insufficient suspension of diaphragm, relaxation of ligaments supporting internal organs, or reduction of intra-abdominal pressure and relaxation of abdominal muscles, resulting in the great curvature of stomach reaching pelvic cavity and the lowest point of lesser curvature of stomach falling below the line of iliac crest when standing. It is often accompanied by the change of duodenal bulb position. The stomach of normal people is in the upper left part of abdominal cavity, and the lowest point should not exceed the two transverse fingers below the umbilicus when standing upright. Its position is relatively fixed, which plays a certain role in maintaining the normal function of stomach. Most of the patients with mild gastroptosis have no symptoms

What symptom does gastroptosis have?

1. Abdominal distension and epigastric discomfort: most patients reported abdominal fullness, heaviness and pressure.

2. Abdominal pain: mostly persistent dull pain. It often occurs after meals and is related to food intake.

matters needing attention

1. Less food and more meals due to gastroptosis patients with weakened digestive function, too much food into the stomach, will inevitably stay in the stomach, causing indigestion. Therefore, the first requirement of diet conditioning is to eat less each time, but the frequency can be increased, 4-6 meals a day is appropriate. 2. The gastric wall tension of patients with gastroptosis is reduced by chewing slowly, which is beneficial to digestion and absorption, enhance gastric peristalsis and promote emptying speed, and relieve abdominal distension. 3. The food should be soft, light and easy to digest. Staple food should be soft rice, such as noodles to cook soft; Non staple food should be chopped and fried. Eat less raw and cold vegetables. However, it should be noted that the fish should not be over cooked, because the fish is the most tender and digestible when it is half cooked, and it has the least burden on the stomach.
