What Is Gastroparesis?
2. Risks Factors for Gastroparesis
More women develop gastroparesis than men. If you have diabetes, your risk of acquiring the condition is high. People who have hypothyroidism, Parkinson’s or scleroderma also face the possibility of getting it.
Undergoing surgery on your abdomen or esophagus carries the potential for getting gastroparesis as a result. Other risk factors include contracting a viral infection or taking narcotic pain medications.
