Intestinal motility disorders refer to conditions that affect the movement of food and waste through the gastrointestinal tract. These disorders can lead to symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea, bloating, and abdominal pain. They occur when the muscles in the intestines do not contract properly, disrupting the normal digestive process. Common types of intestinal motility disorders include Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Gastroparesis. These conditions can be caused by various factors, including nerve damage, hormonal changes, or certain medications. Diagnosis often involves tests to assess how well the intestines are functioning and may require lifestyle or dietary changes for management.
