Hunger Without a Cause? It Could Be THIS Disease!

daily Views  

Most modern people are exposed to continuous stress in their daily lives. The digestive system is very sensitive to stress, and various symptoms occur. In addition, irregular and poor eating habits can also cause multiple gastrointestinal symptoms. With many people skipping meals, skipping meals, and hastily eating one meal, the risk of gastrointestinal disorders can only increase. Recently, curiosity about false fullness has been growing. What is the cause of this uncomfortable and stuffy false fullness?

What is false fullness?

False fullness refers to feeling uncomfortable and stuffy in the stomach even though you haven’t eaten much. According to the National Institutes of Health in the United States, conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, functional dyspepsia, and gastric paralysis can cause false fullness.

Symptoms of false fullness?

Abdominal bloating

The symptoms of false fullness are usually subjective abdominal bloating. This symptom feels like the stomach is full of gas and doesn’t quickly disappear, causing patient discomfort. If everything is normal, the stomach may not shrink even when digestion occurs, and it may feel firm and swollen.

 

Indigestion

Symptoms such as gas, constipation, vomiting, and intestinal paralysis can be found in indigestion. In particular, it can quickly occur in patients with functional dyspepsia, chronic constipation, and irritable bowel syndrome, where the functions of the stomach and intestines are impaired. If this symptom is neglected, the patient’s sensitivity will gradually increase, leading to severe pain, so caution is necessary.

 

What causes false fullness?

If your activity level decreases from usual, the coordinated movement of the digestive system decreases, and blood circulation is not good, which can lead to decreased digestive function. False fullness can occur if this situation continues. It can also happen when there are common gastrointestinal disorders such as functional dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome in modern people, accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation, causing discomfort in the stomach.

What is gastric atony?

Gastric atony is a condition that can cause false fullness due to a decrease in the contractility of the gastric muscles and a decrease in the tension of the gastric wall, which reduces coordinated movement. The causes include atonic constitution, habitual overeating, diarrhea, and the abuse of morphine and atropine. In addition, it can also occur as a secondary symptom of various systemic neurological disorders, reflex neurosis, and frequent gastrointestinal diseases.

What if false fullness is severe?

Eating fewer foods that generate a lot of gas during digestion is essential to prevent false fullness. Some legumes, carbonated drinks, flour-based foods, and fruits and vegetables with high dietary fiber produce a lot of gas, while eggs, radishes, and pineapples, for example, help release gas and make the stomach more comfortable.

Is gastric stasis the cause of false fullness?

Another cause of impaired gastrointestinal function is gastric stasis. Gastric stasis occurs when the area around the stomach becomes stiff, reducing the stomach’s digestive function. Even if an endoscopy is performed, there is often no diagnosis of any abnormalities. However, when the abdomen is examined by hand, patients may complain of discomfort when pressed, or a hard area may be observed.

How do we overcome false fullness?

Regular lifestyle

To overcome false fullness, you must reflect on your lifestyle habits and discover why your stomach is malfunctioning. If you eat instant or salty food frequently, you should reduce the amount of salt when cooking. Regular meals are also important. Instead of eating a lot of food when you’re hungry, eating a moderate amount at designated times three times a day is better.

Exercise

Not moving the body is also related to false fullness. Most modern people sit or lie down immediately after eating, which is like putting a barrier to prevent the stomach from functioning correctly. Moreover, if fat accumulates in the stomach due to lack of exercise, the digestive system will not function properly, resulting in gastric weakness. Therefore, moving your body to prevent false fullness is important.

False fullness, a sign of ovarian cancer?

Attention should be paid to prevent false fullness from being overlooked due to overeating. According to a study, only one out of five women knows that false fullness is a symptom of ovarian cancer. Continuous false fullness is one of the critical symptoms of ovarian cancer, so if false fullness persists, it is advisable to visit a hospital.
