Gastric ptosis - Ikasui

Japanese: 胃下垂 - いかすい

The lower end of the stomach is usually 2-3cm below the navel, but this condition refers to the condition in which the stomach has dropped beyond that. It is common in people with a long, slender, and weak constitution, and is often accompanied by sagging of other organs (visceral ptosis) such as the intestines and kidneys. It is not a disease in itself, so there is no need to worry. However, it is often accompanied by gastric atony, and poor dietary habits can easily lead to gastritis, so it is necessary to avoid overeating water, indigestible food, and oils and fats.

Japanese:

胃の下端は普通へその下２〜3cmであるが，それを越えて下がっている状態をいう。体格の細長い無力性体質の人に多く，腸や腎臓などの他の臓器下垂（内臓下垂）を伴うことが多い。それ自体は病気ではなく心配ない。しかし胃アトニーを伴う場合も多く，食事の不摂生で胃炎を生じやすいので，水分，不消化物，油脂の過食は避ける必要がある。
