The stomach is medically known as the abdomen and the stomach is a part of the abdomen.
The abdomen is located between the pelvis and the chest. The common abdominal organs are stomach, liver, gallbladder, spleen, colon, small intestine, colon, and pancreas.
The stomach is a hollow organ, located under the diaphragm and connected to the esophagus above and the small intestine below. However, the position of the stomach may change slightly due to body condition, diet, exercise, etc. Therefore, the position of the stomach is not completely fixed, and in patients with congenital developmental abnormalities, it may be located in the right upper abdomen. The stomach has the functions of food storage, secretory function, digestion and absorption, and defense function.
If abdominal disease occurs, further examination of abdominal ultrasound, CT, gastroscopy and other items are needed to find the cause and then treat under the guidance of doctors.
