Gastroptosis refers to the obvious downward movement of the stomach when the human body stands, even from the upper abdomen to the lower abdomen.
The initial cause of gastroptosis is generally gastric mucosal injury, which develops into gastric ulcer or gastritis, leading to nutrient absorption disorder and malnutrition, leading to insufficient blood supply in the body, and insufficient blood supply to organs will lead to the defect and relaxation of ligaments supporting the stomach.
The fixation of organs in human body depends on three factors, one is the position and activity of diaphragm, the other is the strength of abdominal muscle, the thickness of abdominal fat layer, and the third is the fixation of adjacent organs or related ligaments.
Then, as long as it is the reason that affects these three factors, it may lead to gastroptosis. For example, sedentary will lead to the decrease of abdominal muscle contractility, frequent overeating will cause abnormal diaphragm position, and too little protein will lead to muscle and ligament relaxation.
? The symptoms of gastroptosis develop slowly, and generally mild gastroptosis has no symptoms and is easily overlooked; Patients with moderate or above often have symptoms of poor gastrointestinal motility and indigestion.
1, abdominal distension and epigastric discomfort, and often feel abdominal fullness, heaviness and oppression.
2, abdominal pain is mostly persistent dull pain, usually after meals. The more you eat, the longer and heavier the pain. If you exercise after meals, the pain will get worse.
3, nausea, vomiting, eating a lot of food at a time, aggravated the tension of the ligament of the stomach wall and caused pain. Nausea and vomiting followed.
4, constipation, mostly intractable, may be due to the prolapse of transverse colon at the same time, so that the stomach contents pass slowly.
5, mental burden, suffering from various gastroptosis symptoms for a long time, leading to insomnia, headache, dizziness, dullness, depression and other neuropsychiatric symptoms.
6, emaciation, anemia, low blood pressure and other issues.
? To recuperate gastroptosis, the first thing is to straighten your mind and not have too much mental pressure. As the saying goes, people who are in a good mood will get better soon.
1, do not overeat, eat less and eat more meals, chew slowly, and eat at least 15-20 minutes for each meal;
Step 2 Supplement protein
Many people with gastroptosis have poor digestion and eat less protein food. Insufficient protein will accelerate muscle attenuation, which is not conducive to recovery; At this time, you can eat more digestible protein foods, such as milk, egg custard and light fish and shrimp. And eat some for every meal; You can also eat some easily absorbed protein foods such as protein peptide and protein powder.
3, high-quality fat is essential
? Don't be afraid of fat, which is also an important part of the human body; High-quality fat refers to oils with a more balanced fatty acid ratio such as fish oil, olive oil and linseed oil. You can eat saury once or twice a week and pour a few drops of olive oil or linseed oil before serving.
4, avoid drinking carbonated drinks, beans, rice cakes, glutinous rice and other foods that are easy to produce gas and difficult to digest should also be eaten as little as possible; Avoid foods that are too irritating: wine, coffee, strong tea, cola, peppers, etc. As long as you feel uncomfortable after eating, you should avoid it.
5, it is not appropriate to exercise immediately after meals, it is best to lie down or spread out for half an hour, which can alleviate the symptoms of gastroptosis.
6. Abdominal breathing
? Abdominal breathing is mainly diaphragmatic movement, which is beneficial to improve gastroptosis and can be done often every day when you are free; Abdominal breathing is characterized by the enlargement of the abdomen when inhaling and the minimum contraction of the abdomen when exhaling, and the chest remains motionless throughout the process. There are also exercises such as sit-ups and push-ups, which can enhance the strength of abdominal muscles and ligaments and help recovery.
