How many years can a person with severe ptosis live?

  Gastric prolapse mostly does not affect life expectancy. Those with severe prolapse may have symptoms such as abdominal distention, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, constipation, etc. Those who affect their quality of life need active treatment.  Any factors that can cause the diaphragm to drop, such as reduced diaphragm mobility, weakened abdominal muscle contraction, reduced abdominal pressure, and overly lax ligaments associated with the stomach, can lead to gastric prolapse. In those with longer disease duration, due to psycho-psychological factors or factors such as anemia and wasting, there are often symptoms such as dizziness, headache, insomnia, weakness and palpitations, and in severe cases, there is also prolapse of the liver, spleen, kidney and transverse colon, i.e. visceral prolapse. However, the life expectancy of patients is usually not greatly affected, and the survival period is no different from that of normal people. Treatment can be started with medication such as gastric motivation drugs and gastric mucosal protectors, and surgical treatment such as placement of gastric tray or gastric suspension can be considered if improvement cannot be achieved.  It is recommended that patients should develop good eating habits in daily life, avoid overeating, and should not engage in strenuous activities immediately after meals, and it is also recommended to maintain an optimistic state of mind.
