What Is Mallory Weiss Syndrome?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
7. Retching
Retching is the action that so often ends up with vomiting. It doesn’t necessarily mean the patient will actually vomit, however. It is more a case of going through the motions but without ejecting the stomach’s contents. It is a common symptom and will often happen without any notice.
Retching usually occurs when the patient has experienced something unpleasant, such as a particularly unpleasant odor or taste. It is not usually something to be concerned about but you should see a medical professional if the symptom persists. Retching can be caused my Mallory Weiss syndrome, and it can make the condition worse.
