When food enters the stomach, it moves, thanks to coordinated movements of the muscles of the organ. This phenomenon is called peristalsis. The weakening of the tone of the muscles of the stomach leads to a decrease in their ability to move the food masses.

- Radiography with the use of contrast medium - the configuration of the stomach is determined, finding the contrast at the bottom of the stomach speaks of the weak motility of its walls.
Treatment of atony of stomach
The help to the patient is appointed depending on the cause that initiated the disease. After eliminating the factor that influences the appearance of the disorder( if possible), the measures are directed to normalize the motility of the organ walls.
Diet

The conclusion is that the disease is quite dangerous and with a careless attitude towards the patient can be irreversible consequences.
