Frequent hiccups are primarily attributed to gastrointestinal dysfunction, often associated with reduced gastrointestinal motility. It is recommended to first regulate the intestinal microbiota and improve gut function. Avoid consuming highly irritating foods—especially spicy or stimulating items—in daily life. If symptoms are pronounced, prompt consultation with a gastroenterologist is advised for comprehensive evaluation of the digestive system.
