What are the more obvious symptoms of gastroptosis?

The occurrence of gastroptosis is generally caused by insufficient diaphragmatic suspension. The normal position of the stomach is in the upper left part of the abdominal cavity. When gastroptosis occurs, patients will have more obvious symptoms, such as abdominal distension, abdominal discomfort, nausea and vomiting.

Symptoms of gastroptosis

1. Abdominal distension and upper abdominal discomfort: Patients often feel a sense of fullness, heaviness, and pressure in the abdomen.

2. Abdominal pain: persistent dull pain in multiple locations, often occurring after meals. The more food you eat, the longer the pain lasts. At the same time, pain is related to activity, and activity after meals generally aggravates the pain.

3. Nausea and vomiting: often occur after meals or during activities, especially when eating too much. This is mainly due to eating a large amount of food at one time, which increases the traction of the stomach wall ligaments and causes pain, followed by symptoms of nausea and vomiting.

4. Constipation: Constipation is often stubborn. The main reason may be that the transverse colon sags at the same time, causing the hepatic flexure and splenic flexure of the colon to form an acute angle, resulting in a slow defecation process.

5. Mental symptoms: Because patients suffer from illness for a long time, they have too heavy a mental burden and often experience neuropsychiatric symptoms such as insomnia, headache, dizziness, dullness, depression, etc. They may also have symptoms such as hypotension, palpitations, and standing syncope.
