Is surgery necessary for stomach prolapse into the pelvic cavity?

When the stomach prolapses into the pelvic cavity, it generally indicates a relatively severe condition that usually requires surgical treatment.

After gastric ptosis occurs, patients typically experience abnormal symptoms such as abdominal distension, abdominal pain, nausea, and constipation. If the condition is not particularly severe, appropriate physical exercise in the early stages may help strengthen abdominal muscle strength and alleviate symptoms. When necessary, a gastric support device can also be used to help relieve symptoms. However, if the stomach has prolapsed into the pelvic cavity, this generally indicates that gastric ptosis has reached a serious stage. At this point, surgical removal of part of the stomach tissue is required to relieve clinical symptoms and improve quality of life. Although full recovery to the pre-disease state may not be possible after surgery, treatment can significantly reduce symptoms of gastric ptosis.

If gastric ptosis is left untreated, it may lead to complications such as chronic gastritis, gastric ulcers, depression, and hypotension.
