Can gastric mucosa prolapse cause hiccups?

In life, there are not a few patients suffering from gastric mucosal prolapse, and the incidence of this disease has shown an upward trend in recent years. Besides congenital factors, peptic ulcer or heart failure may also trigger the onset of gastric mucosal prolapse, and the incidence rate among males is much higher than that among females. Patients who have a better understanding of some medical common sense about this disease can adopt targeted treatment methods. So, can gastric mucosal prolapse cause hiccups? Gastric mucosal prolapse can cause hiccups, as this disease prevents the stomach from secreting gastric juice normally, and the ingested food cannot be digested on time, causing gastric juice to surge upward into the stomach, ultimately leading to hiccups. So what other symptoms can gastric mucosal prolapse cause?

1. Gastric mucosal prolapse can cause upper gastrointestinal bleeding. For the vast majority of patients, the amount of bleeding is not very large, so it will not cause substantial harm to the body. However, a few patients may experience abnormal bleeding in the digestive tract, leading to the risk of shock. When the condition is severe, it may lead to the risk of death from excessive bleeding. After experiencing symptoms of gastric bleeding, one must promptly go to the gastroenterology department of the hospital for examination to confirm whether it poses a risk to the body.

2. This disease may cause abdominal pain, which may occur in the upper abdomen or the upper middle abdomen slightly to the right, or in the lower part of the sternum. Upper abdominal pain usually occurs 0.5 to 1 hour after eating. The nature of abdominal pain is diverse, such as dull pain, distending pain, or burning pain. Some patients may also experience radiation problems to the back, and some may also experience severe abdominal pain at night, making it difficult for patients to sleep throughout the night.

3. If long-term gastric mucosal prolapse is not controlled or treated, it may lead to a decline in gastric digestion or absorption function. The nutrients needed by the body cannot be obtained in a timely manner for a long time, resulting in poor nutrient absorption by the patient. Due to the lack of vitamins in the body, severe cases may lead to symptoms of weight loss. The above points introduce the symptoms that gastric mucosal prolapse can cause.

In life, patients need to avoid getting cold after weather changes, try to control their emotions, or go outdoors to participate in appropriate exercises. At the same time, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, especially avoiding eating cold, hard, or spoiled food, and alcohol must be prohibited.
