Diagnosis
Diagnosis [13] of the disease begins when the patient seeks medical help after observing the symptoms, or the detection of the disease occurs randomly during gastroscopy. Before the examination, it is recommended not to consume food and water for a more accurate definition of the disease. In the case of a healthy stomach, the stomach will be empty, and in gastroparesis, it will be filled with decomposing food. If the dieting is not followed before the examination, it is possible that the specialist will not be able to see the problem. Also, during gastroscopy, a decrease or complete absence of abdominal muscle impulses can be observed.
During treatment, it is recommended to eat well-cooked and easily digestible foods while following a special diet. To speed up the movement of the abdominal muscles, drugs of the prokinetic group are used, which are usually used several times during treatment.
