The occurrence of intestinal dysfunction is mostly closely related to mental, dietary, environmental stimuli and intestinal dynamics. A variety of causes of reduced intestinal motility result in symptoms such as loss of appetite, constipation, or abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, and even nausea and vomiting.
Gastrointestinal dysfunction starts slowly, mostly with anorexia, post-feeding fullness, belching, nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort or pain, often recurrent, with intestinal symptoms predominating, and pain in the left lower abdomen may be accompanied by striae. The abdominal pain is often accompanied by abdominal distension, poor defecation and increased frequency of defecation, and the stool can be dry or thin, which used to be called colonic dysfunction, colonic allergy, emotional diarrhea, etc. It can be limited to the pharynx, esophagus and stomach, and can also be accompanied by other symptoms of neurological signs, which can cause malnutrition if diarrhea is frequent.
The only way to fundamentally adjust the gastrointestinal dysfunction is through mental adjustment and behavioral changes. It can be treated with dietary therapy, nutritional support therapy, sedation therapy, and depending on the condition, symptomatic use of glutamate, spikenard, digestive enzymes, and B vitamins. Patients with significant psychiatric symptoms are given anti-anxiety and antidepressant drugs to relieve psychological disorders.
