What medicine should I take for gastric prolapse?

Gastroptosis, also known as gastroptosis, is a relatively common stomach disease. Most cases of gastroptosis are caused by improper living and eating habits. The treatment of gastroptosis is mainly through exercise or diet adjustment.

When yang energy is sufficient, gastroptosis will naturally disappear.

Symptoms and signs of gastroptosis

The patient has a thin and long body, lacks subcutaneous fat, has low muscle tone, and has a sunken upper abdomen and a bulging lower abdomen with obvious splashing sounds when standing upright. The abdominal muscles are loose and there is obvious pain when the left lower abdomen is touched. A small number of patients may experience looseness of multiple joints in the limbs.

2. Systemic symptoms

It is often manifested as gradual weight loss, which may be accompanied by dizziness, fatigue, palpitations, insomnia, and nightmares.

3. Digestive system symptoms

The patient has loss of appetite and persistent abdominal distension, which is particularly prominent after eating. He often has belching and a feeling of heaviness and pressure in the left abdomen, which worsens after eating or when walking, and eases when lying down. Sometimes constipation, sometimes diarrhea, or diarrhea and constipation alternate. The stomach often has dull pain and latent pain, while severe pain is relatively rare. The patient's appetite is significantly reduced, and there are symptoms of fear of food and anorexia.

How to prevent gastroptosis and constipation: Constipation will aggravate the degree of gastroptosis.

A balance between movement and stillness: Actively participating in physical exercise can increase gastric tension due to increased physical and muscle strength, promote gastric motility, and improve symptoms.

Reduce stimulation: Try to eat less irritating foods, such as chili peppers, ginger, excessive alcohol, coffee, cola and strong tea.

Eat less and chew more: This can not only fully digest the food, but also avoid too much food remaining in the stomach and causing indigestion. Eat less dry, hard and indigestible foods, such as steak, fried potatoes, peanuts, broad beans, etc. Side dishes should be chopped and fried, and eat less raw and cold vegetables. Fish should not be overcooked, because fish is most tender and easiest to digest when it is half-cooked.

Chew slowly: chewing food slowly helps digestion and absorption, enhances gastric motility, and relieves abdominal distension and discomfort.
