Neurological Disorder

A complicated, highly specialized network makes up the nervous system. Our nervous system organizes, explains, and connects us to the environment through senses like sight, smell, walking, and speech.

They control a wide range of vital physical processes, including memory, perception, language, movement, swallowing, breathing, and even bowel and bladder operations.

A neurological disorder, however, can result from a problem with a specific component of the nervous system. Numerous people may be unaware they have one of the millions of neurological problems that impact people every year.

Neurological Disorders that Affect Stomach

Neurological disorders that affect the stomach are conditions that impact the nerves that control the muscles of the digestive system. These disorders can cause a range of symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and constipation. Let’s talk about different types of disorders that affect the stomach:

• One common neurological disorder that affects the stomach is Gastrointestinal Autonomic Neuropathy which is a type of peripheral neuropathy that affects the autonomic nerves that control digestion.
• Gastroparesis is another neurological disorder that affects the stomach. It is a condition in which the stomach takes too long to empty its contents into the small intestine. Gastroparesis can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bloating, and abdominal pain.
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder that affects the large intestine. It is characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits such as diarrhea or constipation.
• Parkinson’s disease is a neurological disorder that affects the brain and nervous system, causing tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with movement.
