What are the symptoms of mild gastroptosis?

Gastrointestinal health is an extremely important matter in people's lives. The stomach and intestines are the digestive tissues of the human body. Once a disease occurs, it will bring great disaster to people's digestive system. For example, the health of the stomach is a relatively fragile part. People often experience mild gastroptosis, which causes certain discomfort to people. Let’s take a look at the symptoms of mild gastroptosis.

Mild sagging is generally asymptomatic, while obvious sagging may cause the following symptoms:

1. Abdominal distension and upper abdominal discomfort

Patients often report a feeling of fullness, heaviness, and pressure in the abdomen.

2. Abdominal pain

Most of the pain is persistent. It often occurs after meals and is related to food intake. The more you eat, the longer the pain lasts and the more severe the pain is. At the same time, pain is related to activity, and activity after meals often makes the pain worse.

3. Nausea and vomiting

It often occurs after meals or during activities, especially when eating too much. This is because taking in a large amount of food at one time increases the traction of the stomach wall ligaments and causes pain, followed by nausea and vomiting.

4. Constipation

Constipation is often stubborn and may be caused by the sagging of the transverse colon, which causes the hepatic flexure and splenic flexure of the colon to form an acute angle, resulting in slow passage.

5. Neuropsychiatric symptoms

Because the various symptoms of gastroptosis torment patients for a long time, they put too much mental burden on them, resulting in neuropsychiatric symptoms such as insomnia, headache, dizziness, dullness, and depression. Symptoms may also include hypotension, palpitations, and syncope upon standing.

diagnosis

According to the patient's medical history and clinical manifestations: gastrointestinal dysfunction and secretory dysfunction, often with bloating, anorexia, belching, constipation, abdominal pain, etc., which are aggravated by standing for too long after meals and after fatigue; physical examination generally shows thin body shape, when standing, the lower abdomen sometimes has a "gourd-like" shape, there may be water splashing sounds in the stomach area, and obvious abdominal aorta pulsation is easily felt in the upper abdomen, usually accompanied by sagging of organs such as the liver, spleen, kidneys and colon. Patients suspected of gastroptosis are mainly diagnosed through X-ray examination.
