What causes gastroptosis?

Many people have experienced gastroptosis in their daily lives, and they all know that gastroptosis is quite painful, which makes the stomach and intestines feel very uncomfortable, and they will feel nausea and vomiting. The general causes of gastroptosis may be weak physique or loose ligaments, including problems with daily diet, etc.

Symptoms: Gastroptosis means that when a person is standing, the position of the stomach is too low, the lower edge of the stomach hangs down into the pelvic cavity, and the lowest point of the lesser curvature of the stomach drops below the horizontal line of the navel.

There are many causes of gastroptosis. Bad eating habits can easily cause gastroptosis. If you are often hungry, you are likely to get gallstones. Patients with this disease will be very painful.

Gastroptosis prefers people with thin body shape, weak constitution, loose abdominal wall and weak abdominal muscles. The main cause is the relaxation and weakness of the muscles and ligaments that suspend and fix the position of the stomach and the decrease in abdominal pressure, which lowers the overall position of the stomach and weakens gastric motility.

Women who have a sudden drop in abdominal pressure after childbirth, or those who have a thin and long body shape, chronic wasting diseases, or those who work standing up for a long time or stay in bed and do not move much are prone to this disease.

Patients with mild gastroptosis generally do not feel any discomfort. Those with obvious gastroptosis often experience abdominal discomfort and a feeling of fullness and heaviness. The symptoms worsen after meals, when standing or after fatigue, and are accompanied by loss of appetite, nausea, belching, indigestion, constipation and other phenomena. When gastroptosis is severe, it may be accompanied by ptosis of other internal organs such as the liver, kidneys, and colon.
