What are Gastric disorders?
Gastric disorders are conditions that affect the stomach and its ability to function properly. Some are short-term, and they clear up on their own. Others are more severe or chronic and may require surgery. These disorders can cause:
- Bloating
- Heartburn
- Stomach pain
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Difficulty eating.
What Causes Gastric Disorders?
The most common causes include:
- Infections, such as Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium linked to ulcers and inflammation
- Long-term use of NSAIDs can damage the stomach lining
- Stress or poor eating habits, which may worsen or trigger the symptoms
- Genetic disorders and autoimmune conditions, which can make people prone to such issues
- Cancer or tumours in the stomach, which may start with minor symptoms and worsen over time
The causes can vary from person to person. Understanding the causes helps in planning an effective treatment.
When is Gastric Surgery Necessary?
Not all gastric issues need surgery. It becomes necessary when medications have not helped or the condition is advanced. Surgery helps treat:
1. Peptic Ulcer Disease – Gastric Outlet Obstruction
Peptic ulcers are sores in the stomach lining. If it forms in the lower part of the stomach, it can block food from passing to the small intestine. This condition is referred to as gastric outlet obstruction. It leads to frequent vomiting and bloating. Gastric outlet obstruction can also lead to weight loss. Surgery might be necessary to remove the obstruction. Procedures, including pyloroplasty or gastrojejunostomy, can help relieve symptoms.
2. Stomach Cancer (Gastric Cancer)
Gastric cancer goes unnoticed until it reaches an advanced stage. Symptoms like persistent pain or weight loss may occur later. Surgery becomes necessary after diagnosis. The doctor may perform a partial or total gastrectomy depending on the cancer location and size. At Aster CMI Hospital, we use advanced surgical methods to reduce pain and speed up recovery.
3. GIST and Neuroendocrine Tumours
GIST and Neuroendocrine tumours are rare but important gastric conditions. It leads to bleeding or other digestive issues. Surgery can help remove the tumour completely. Our experts evaluate each case to determine the best approach.
