Vomiting
Scientifically known as emesis, vomiting is the forceful uncontrollable reflex that empties the stomach by expelling the stomach acids and contents. This process is a natural response of the body to get rid of detected harmful substances. It may also indicate that the gastrointestinal tract is irritated. Vomiting may be a symptom of many diseases, such as appendicitis, migraines, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and hiatal hernia. Twelve kinds of vomiting exist, but bile-stained vomiting occurs in cases like hiatal hernia. This happens due to the obstruction and squeezing of the stomach, leaving the acids and stomach contents to go back to the esophagus.
When a hiatal hernia becomes severe, its hiatus grows larger. It also affects organs from the digestive system. These affected organs, such as the esophagus, gut, and diaphragm, are pushed and trapped in the muscle wall. This will irritate the stomach and trigger vomiting as a response to the exasperation of the gastrointestinal tract.
