Patient's question:
What is gastric retention? How to relieve it?Doctor's answer:
If there is gastric retention again, it is essential to check what is causing it? First, check if there is abnormal gastrointestinal peristalsis again, and also check if there is any abnormal pyloric antrum anatomy. Is there a recurrence of intestinal obstruction? In this case, first identify the cause, and then proceed with additional treatment. If the contents in the gastric juice cannot be expelled, it is recommended to still insert a stomach tube for gastrointestinal drainage to resolve the issue.
