Patient's question:
I am 32 years old, female. Two years ago, I had poor digestion and often didn't eat. Eating too much would make my stomach uncomfortable. Over the past year, my appetite has increased even more, and I only eat 1-2 liang per day. My weight has increased by 12 kilograms, and now I weigh 42 kilograms (height: 1.57 meters). I went to the gastroenterology department of the hospital for a check-up. Detailed blood, urine, and tests for the gallbladder, liver, stomach, etc., were all normal. They said it's due to insufficient stomach motility.Doctor's answer:
Factors causing insufficient gastric motility include emotional fluctuations, dysfunction of gastric excretion, functional dyspepsia, etc., which may lead to symptoms such as upper abdominal fullness, easy satiety, postprandial abdominal pain, nausea, and dry heaving. It is recommended to avoid long-term consumption of rough or irritating foods; prevent excessively hot beverages and salty diets; and maintain regular and balanced eating habits to prevent overeating. Medications should not be overly avoided.Additionally, during the treatment of gastric diseases, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. Patients must ensure adequate intake of digestive vitamins to prevent stomach upset and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm. It is hoped that the above information can assist you. Thank you.
