Introduction
In general, a feeling of fullness or bloating in the stomach may be caused by overeating, indigestion, gastritis, or other factors. Patients can receive symptomatic treatment according to the specific cause. Besides these three common causes, other conditions such as gastric ulcers, hyperthyroidism, and diabetes may also be responsible. It is recommended that patients seek timely medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Generally, a feeling of fullness or bloating in the stomach may be caused by overeating, indigestion, gastritis, or other factors. Patients can receive symptomatic treatment based on the specific cause. Detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Overeating

When excessive food is consumed, it may lead to overexpansion of the stomach volume, putting pressure on the diaphragm and causing gastric distension and a sensation of fullness. This is a normal condition and does not require special treatment.

2. Indigestion

Eating too quickly, poor eating habits, or overeating may irritate the gastric mucosa, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain and a feeling of fullness. It is recommended that patients take medications such as Simo Decoction Oral Liquid or Domperidone tablets under medical guidance, while also improving their eating habits.

3. Gastritis

Improper diet, infection, and other factors may cause gastritis, damaging the gastric mucosa and resulting in symptoms such as stomach fullness and diarrhea. It is recommended that patients use medications such as Bismuth Potassium Citrate Tablets or Colloidal Bismuth Pectin Capsules under medical supervision, while also paying attention to food hygiene.

Besides the three causes listed above, other conditions such as gastric ulcers, hyperthyroidism, or diabetes may also be responsible. Patients are advised to seek timely medical evaluation and treatment.
