Patient's question:
What are the causes of gastric prolapse?Doctor's answer:
Gastroptosis is related to genetic factors on one hand and vigorous exercise after meals on the other. For patients with gastroptosis, bloating symptoms often appear after eating. Many lack functional exercise, which can easily lead to severe pressure on the lungs. Gastroptosis can cause bloating and upper abdominal discomfort, usually persistent mild pain that often occurs after meals. It is not effective in treating gastroptosis but can help with symptoms like acid reflux and heartburn. Patients with gastroptosis are generally advised to lie flat for about ten minutes after meals to avoid immediate physical activity.
