Stagnant food (belongs to the concept of Chinese medicine, mostly seen in children) manifests as indigestion, dry stools, may be accompanied by vomiting and other symptoms, the main causes are visceral hypersensitivity, gastroduodenal motility dysfunction and certain external triggering factors.
1. Visceral hypersensitivity: that is, the patient’s gastrointestinal tract is overreactive to mechanical dilatation, acid and other stimuli, which is mostly related to the abnormal regulation of the nervous system, thus causing a variety of digestive symptoms.
2. Gastroduodenal motility dysfunction: such as delayed gastric emptying, tolerant diastolic restriction, etc., can lead to functional dyspepsia in children, which can cause early satiety, epigastric distension and other manifestations.
3. External triggering factors: long-term consumption of milk, carbonated beverages, sweet food, easy to produce gas food, etc., dietary irregularities can be induced by “accumulation of food”.
It is recommended that patients go to the hospital in a timely manner, under the guidance of a professional doctor, complete the relevant examinations and receive standardized treatment.
