Poor gastrointestinal motility

Introduction

Introduction Normal gastrointestinal motility plays an important role in achieving food digestion and absorption. When the gastrointestinal motility is poor, it can cause indigestion. Gastrointestinal motility treatment of gastrointestinal motility drugs can promote peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, thereby reducing the symptoms of bloating. Gastrointestinal itself has insufficient motility when the non-digestive period and metabolic problems or gastrointestinal due to individual reasons, the weakness of the body is thin, the stomach will go up and down with the body type straight up and down, of course, poor absorption. Eating certain drugs can affect gastrointestinal motility, such as diet pills and antiemetics.

Diagnosis of poor gastrointestinal motility:

1. The gastric antrum is low and the gastric emptying is delayed.

2. The proximal end of the stomach is less compliant and the stomach is less accommodating.

3. The pressure at the proximal end of the stomach is reduced, which delays the emptying of the gastric fluid.

4. The stomach, pylorus, and duodenum movements are not coordinated. Therefore, the disease mainly manifests as delayed gastric emptying. There are often symptoms such as early satiety, fullness in the upper abdomen after meals, and discomfort in the upper abdomen after eating.

Diagnosis

Differential diagnosis

Gastrointestinal motility should be differentiated from the following symptoms:

1. Gastrointestinal function is not good Gastrointestinal dysfunction, also known as gastrointestinal neurosis, is a general term for a group of gastrointestinal syndrome, mental factors are the main causes of this disease, such as emotional stress, anxiety, life and Difficulties in work, troubles, unfortunate accidents, etc., can interfere with the normal activities of high-grade nerves, which in turn cause dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract.

2. Gastrointestinal flatulence Gastrointestinal flatulence is very common in clinical practice, often manifested as hernia, abdominal distension, abdominal pain and sagittal (fart).

3. Gastrointestinal bloating Gastrointestinal bloating is caused by a variety of reasons, the gastrointestinal tract is not smooth or obstructed, the gas of the gastrointestinal tract can not be excreted with the gastrointestinal motility outside the area of the gastrointestinal tract called gastrointestinal bloating. Gastrointestinal bloating can be functional or organic. For example, irritable bowel syndrome and mild phlegm caused by diabetes make the gastrointestinal bloating a functional bloating. Most of the pyloric obstruction and intestinal obstruction are organic bloating. Both often and constipation exist.
