Gastroptosis - etiology and pathology:
Gastroptosis patients due to chronic fatigue, brain transition fatigue, strong nerve stimulation and mood swings continue the role of the cerebral cortex, so that the central cortical and subcortical dysfunction, lead to autonomic dysfunction, reverse the gastric tension force weakened, slow peristalsis, hypogonadism . But a small number of patients with hyperthyroidism due to stomach and intestines, the food in the stomach and a shorter residence time, the nutrients can not easily be absorbed, digestive dysfunction, and therefore losing weight can also lead to ptosis of the stomach and other visceral ptosis.
Cause gastroptosis reasons of both nature and nurture.
A. Congenital common in the inability to type body. Physical factors if, narrow thorax, pale skin, subcutaneous fat meager or muscular dystrophy, the 13th rib free. Patients with congenital ptosis of the stomach, often complicated by other organs (such as kidney, liver, spleen, transverse colon, uterus and other organs sagging), it is also called visceral ptosis.
Two. Acquired with chronic wasting disease in combination or after recovering from illness; complications of other digestive diseases. Such as chronic gastritis, ape ulcers; abdominal muscle relaxation or intra-abdominal pressure drop, such as women repeatedly fertility, abdominal resection of the tumor, the weight is suddenly reduced, or increased pressure within the chest, such as chronic cough, heart, heart border, the downward movement of , can cause ptosis of the stomach.

Gastroptosis - clinical performanceGastroptosis 1. Digestive symptoms in patients with appetite loss intractable abdominal distension, especially after eating symptoms, frequent belching more than Zuofu have a sense of falling and pressure, and aggravated after eating or walking, supine mitigate.

A small number of patients with visible limb multi-joint laxity.
4. X-ray to check the X-ray study of the position of general visible stomach dropped, low tension force of the peristaltic wave sparse, more left in the stomach by the enlarged type into a bag-shaped or other stomach-shaped.
Of gastroptosis the diagnostic criteria generally connect to the stomach from the iliac crest of 4 cm as normal. Degree of sagging can be divided into light, moderate and severe, 5-8 cm for mild ptosis; 9-12 cm for the moderate drooping, 13 cm or more severe sagging.
According to history, the typical digestive symptoms and general condition, combined with signs of pre-X-ray examination, the diagnosis is not difficult.

Gastroptosis - daily life knowledgeThe gastroptosis people in the standing position, the lower edge of the stomach up to the pelvic arc the lowest point of the lesser curvature down to the iliac crest of the connection, known as ptosis of the stomach. During the upper gastrointestinal imaging of 32 274 people, almost out of every 10 young women there is a person suffering from ptosis of the stomach. Long-term state of tension, carrying out a wrong way to lose weight and stay in shape, irregular eating, the 20-year-old young woman suffering from gastroptosis.

Therefore, the the gastroptosis patient after a meal appropriate supine lying for a while to reduce the occurrence of these complications.
In addition to a walk after dinner before meals, take a walk instead. Not only can promote gastrointestinal emptying, increased appetite, but also to mobilize the movement muscles to release energy, conducive to a healthy weight loss.
Gastroptosis - preventive health careEat small meals
Ptosis of the stomach in patients with weakened digestion, too much food into the stomach, is bound to remain in the stomach surface to cause indigestion. Therefore, the first requirement of food conditioning is each meal should be less, but can increase in the number of 4-6 meals a day as appropriate.

Slowly
Ptosis of the stomach in patients with gastric wall tension is reduced, creeping slowly, if you gobble that eat the food will fill in the stomach. In addition, oral food chewing process will reflex to stimulate gastric motility and enhanced gastric wall tension. Dining speed relatively slowly, slowly in order to facilitate the digestion and absorption and enhanced gastric motility and to promote the rate of stomach emptying, relieve bloating discomfort.
Food valuables
Food dry and hard texture is more rigid, such as steak, Zhawan Zi, peanuts, broad beans, etc., into the stomach do not digest, but also may damage the gastric mucosa and promote the incidence of gastritis increased. Therefore, usually the food we eat should be soft, light, easy to digest. The staple food should be soft rice is better, such as noodles must be cooked soft-boiled, eat the thick, hard cooked noodles; non-staple food to be chopped fried, eat raw vegetables.

Because the fat, especially animal fat in the stomach emptying the slowest, if the food fat too much, it will make the already poor emptying of the stomach under pressure to increase, adding to the food retention, and therefore should be appropriate restrictions. The protein foods should be increased slightly, such as chicken, fish, lean pork, half-cooked eggs, milk, tofu, soy milk, etc., will do their valuables does not affect the digestion and absorption. By increasing protein intake, increase stamina and muscle strength, relieve fatigue and other symptoms, can improve the strength of the stomach wall smooth muscle, and promote to an increase in gastric wall tension, motility enhanced.
Reduce the stimulation
Strong irritant foods such as pepper, ginger, excessive alcohol, coffee, cola and tea, etc., can gastroptosis patients with acid reflux, heartburn symptoms get worse, affect their condition improved, and therefore these foods should be minimized to eat drink and be limited . Dong small amount to drink some wine and weak tea is beneficial, conducive to reducing the occurrence and development of gastroptosis.
Prevent constipation
Gastroptosis patients with gastrointestinal creep function is often relatively slow, poor diet or lack of drinking water is prone to constipation, and constipation will increase gastroptosis extent, therefore, patients should pay particular attention to prevent constipation. Deployment of some fruits and vegetables in the diet, because fruits and vegetables contain more vitamins and fiber, which can promote stomach and intestines, the stool becomes soft lubrication to prevent constipation. Such as early morning cup of light brine or bedtime cup of honey, sesame oil water, to alleviate and eliminate constipation.
Movement affordable
Gastroptosis patients actively participate in physical exercise can help prevent the gastroptosis continue to develop, but also enhance strength and muscle increase gastric tone, gastric motility, and improve symptoms. But should be noted that after a meal should not immediately exercise, should ensure that the postprandial 30 to 60 minute break, because after the meal, Games, due to the gravity of the food leaving gastroptosis severity. Pre-dinner walk postprandial lying is the best way to treatment of ptosis of the stomach.
