Can gastric prolapse be treated?

Patient's question:

When I first started exercising, I often rushed to run after eating to save time and then went to work. Over time, I developed a hiatal hernia. Although it doesn't significantly affect my daily life, I still occasionally get stomach pain, and my body shape isn't great. Can a hiatal hernia be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Gastroptosis generally tends to occur in people who experience high-speed physical activity. Another reason is that engaging in activities immediately after a meal can also lead to gastroptosis. Besides other uncomfortable symptoms, such as acid reflux and heartburn, does gastroptosis also cause symptoms like these? If you have symptoms of stomach acid reflux or heartburn, it is recommended to take Omeprazole orally for symptomatic relief. If you are still not reassured, you can undergo an endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis. For simple gastroptosis, it is important to maintain a good dietary routine in daily life, avoiding excessive spicy foods and not overeating.
