Definition

  • Stomach disorders describe a multiplicity of maladies either restricted to the stomach or emanating from the stomach, affecting contiguous portions of the gastrointestinal tract or other organ systems. The many disorders of the stomach can be categorized into several broad classifications, including conditions due to acid peptic disease with or without reflux; conditions of a neoplastic nature (tumor); conditions due to dysmotility; and conditions relating to gastric hemorrhage.
