Gastroparesis is a medical condition that affects the stomach's ability to empty its contents properly. This delayed gastric emptying can lead to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bloating, and abdominal pain. The condition can be caused by various factors, including diabetes, certain medications, and nerve damage. Diagnosis typically involves tests like gastric emptying studies, which measure how quickly food leaves the stomach. Treatment options may include dietary changes, medications to stimulate stomach movement, and in severe cases, surgical interventions. Managing gastroparesis often requires a comprehensive approach tailored to the individual's needs.
