Introduction
Gastric motility, once lost, can generally be restored. Loss of gastric motility often leads to symptoms such as poor appetite, nausea, vomiting, or abdominal bloating. It is recommended to eat small, frequent meals and consume foods rich in vitamins and protein. Appropriate physical exercise may also help. If necessary, prokinetic medications such as domperidone tablets or mosapride citrate dispersible tablets can be taken to regulate gastric function.
The stomach usually can regain its motility after losing it.
Loss of gastric motility is typically caused by irregular eating habits, disrupted作息 (daily routines), leading to weakened gastric function and disordered gastric secretion. Patients often experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, or bloating. If prolonged, it may further lead to abdominal pain, constipation, and other issues. It's important to adjust dietary habits by eating smaller, more frequent meals, consuming foods rich in vitamins and protein, and engaging in appropriate physical exercise to promote gastrointestinal motility. When necessary, prokinetic medications—such as domperidone tablets or mosapride citrate dispersible tablets—may be taken under a doctor’s guidance to help restore normal gastric motility.
Patients with impaired gastric motility are advised to seek timely medical evaluation to clarify the condition and, under medical supervision, choose appropriate treatment options.
