causes of gastroparesis
Gastroparesis is a condition characterized by delayed emptying of the stomach, leading to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and bloating. Causes of gastroparesis include diabetes, certain medications, surgery on the stomach or vagus nerve, and autoimmune disorders. These factors can affect the function of the stomach muscles or the nerves that control them, leading to impaired stomach emptying.
