Gastric ptosis is caused by low tension of the stomach wall and laxity and weakness of the ligaments and abdominal muscles surrounding the attached stomach, reduced elasticity of the abdominal wall, and reduced abdominal pressure.
The position of human abdominal organs needs to be fixed by the following roles: the position of the diaphragm and the mobility of the diaphragm; the strength of the abdominal muscles, the role of the thickness of the abdominal wall fat layer; the role of the neighboring organs or the fixation of certain related ligaments.
The onset of gastric ptosis is the result of a combination of factors, all factors that can cause the diaphragm to fall, such as diaphragm mobility decreased, abdominal pressure decreased, abdominal muscle contraction force is weakened, and ligaments connecting with the stomach are too loose, etc. can lead to gastric ptosis. The degree of gastric ptosis is affected by the cause of the disease, as well as the influence of physical condition, there are certain differences in clinical symptoms.
Gastric ptosis mostly occurs in long and thin body shape, chronic illness, long-term bed-ridden and little movement, menstruation and consumptive disease progressive wasting, etc., often accompanied by other organs ptosis.
