What are the causes of gastroptosis?

Although there is no record of "gastroptosis" in Chinese medicine, it is believed that this disease is caused by deficiency of middle qi and subsidence of qi deficiency. Spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow and the source of qi and blood biochemistry. The stomach governs the stomach and makes it smooth; Spleen governs transportation and promotes harmony. Both of them receive a shipment, rise and fall, and cooperate with each other. Under the action of heart and lung, they transmit subtle Shui Gu to the whole body and maintain the normal functional activities of the body. Due to congenital deficiency, physical weakness, internal injuries of seven emotions and diet fatigue, it can all lead to dysfunction of spleen and stomach transport, imbalance of ascending and descending, depression of temper, and gastroptosis and other organ drooping. Modern medicine believes that gastroptosis is a functional disease, which is caused by the relaxation of gastric smooth muscle or ligament. Due to long-term fatigue, brain transition fatigue, intense nerve stimulation and emotional fluctuation constantly act on the cerebral cortex, which leads to dysfunction of the cortical and subcortical centers, leading to dysfunction of autonomic nerves, which in turn weakens gastric tension, slows down peristalsis and reduces function. However, there are also a small number of patients, because of gastrointestinal peristalsis, food stays in the stomach for a short time, nutrients are not easily absorbed, and digestive function is low, so they are getting thinner day by day, which can also lead to visceral ptosis such as gastroptosis. The causes of gastroptosis are congenital and acquired. 1. Congenital diseases are more common in people with weak bodies. If the body is normal, the chest is narrow, the skin is pale, the subcutaneous fat is thin or muscular dystrophy, and the tenth rib is free. Patients with congenital gastroptosis can often be complicated with other internal organs (such as kidney, liver, spleen, transverse colon, uterus and other internal organs). ) 2. Acquired diseases usually coexist with chronic wasting diseases, or coexist after the initial rehabilitation of serious diseases; It is a complication of other digestive diseases. Such as chronic gastritis and scarlet fever ulcer. Relaxation of abdominal muscles or reduction of intra-abdominal pressure, such as multiple births in women, abdominal tumor resection, sudden weight loss, or increased intra-thoracic pressure, such as long-term cough, sulking, heart movement, etc., can all cause gastroptosis.
