Regurgitation is a backward movement of food from the stomach

Regurgitation – this return movement of food from the stomach or esophagus without nausea or active contractions of the abdominal muscles. Usually this condition is caused by acid reflex, esophageal blockage or narrowing. The blockage can cause a number of reasons, including a malignant tumor, impaired sphincter and neural regulation.

If the regurgitation does not have physical causes, it is called called rumination. It usually occurs in children in the first year of life. It is much less common in adults. The called rumination in adults can be caused by emotional disorders, especially in the period of nervous tension.

Phenomena

Regurgitation – the rapid movement of gases or liquid in the opposite direction to natural, which appears during the reduction of hollow muscular organs. Mostly this condition is observed in violation of a muscular Gomov of the stomach or of the heart valves, as well as in reverse orientation of the waves of muscle contraction. Regurgitation – it's the same burp. There is also regurgitation of blood into the Atria from the ventricles that occurs when failure, tricuspid or mitral heart valves.

Minimal regurgitation in children

The Return movement of food occurs quite often in infants (in the first months of life). It occurs due to the reduction of smooth muscles of the stomach without involvement of the diaphragm and abdominals. This act is involuntary and often not accompanied by any functional impairment. Sometimes regurgitation is repeated several times in the process of feeding the baby. At six months of age, she usually disappears.

At the same time regurgitation 3 degrees may be caused by organic lesions of: congenital short esophagus, peptic esophagitis, esophageal diverticulum, and so on. It can be one of the symptoms of duodenal ulcer with pilorospazme, the tightness of the pylorus, and hypersecretion.

Called rumination

Called rumination and regurgitation – is a physiological phenomenon that can occur in infants, quickly sucking the mother's breast. At its core, called rumination-is a phenomenon that is observed in ruminants. In some cases, infants return part of the contents of the stomach back into the mouth, chew it again and swallow. In this part it involuntarily flows out between the lips. Some children put fingers in the mouth, in order to return the contents of the stomach back. As a rule, called rumination starts half an hour after eating and lasts one to two hours.

Called rumination and regurgitation – these are analogous to the mechanism of manifestation and clinical value. The only difference is that the food is regurgitation from the mouth does not arise. Doctors believe that the most common cause of regurgitation is a dysfunction of the dividing walls and sphincters. It arises as a consequence of the active contraction of the muscles, but not the same reflux-the passive leaking of fluid in the adjacent space.
