It refers to a group of syndromes that occur during exercise or after exercise, and have gastrointestinal dysfunction, manifested as abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, and diarrhea. The cause of the disease is insufficient blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract, redistribution of visceral blood during exercise, dehydration, high temperature and other conditions are more serious gastrointestinal blood supply disorders, secretion of vasoactive substances such as catecholamines, release of oxygen free radicals and other gastrointestinal mucosal microcirculation Ischemia.

Cause

Cause

Pathogenesis and cause:

1, gastrointestinal spasm: mental stress, over-satisfaction, fasting can cause abnormal secretion of gastrointestinal hormones, gastrointestinal movements are not coordinated to cause gastrointestinal spasm.

2, gastrointestinal tract blood supply: visceral blood redistribution during exercise, dehydration, high temperature and other conditions are more serious gastrointestinal blood supply disorders, catecholamines and other vasoactive substances secretion, oxygen free radicals and other exacerbations of gastrointestinal mucosal microcirculation deficiency blood.

3, ligament, organ surface tension tension, rectus abdominis: respiratory movement incoordination can cause liver and spleen congestion, mechanical stimulation to maintain the ligaments of the abdominal organs excessive traction, stimulate vagus nerve reflex, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, Increased muscle excitability causes the rectus abdominis.

History: Repeated abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting during exercise.

Vomiting refers to a complex reflex action of the contents of the stomach or a portion of the contents of the small intestine that flow out of the mouth through the esophagus. Vomiting can remove harmful substances from the stomach, and people can play a protective role, but persistent and severe vomiting can cause technical water, electrolyte imbalance, metabolic alkalosis and malnutrition, and even esophageal and gastric mucosal tears (MallmpWiess) Syndrome) complications.
