Gastroparesis is a chronic medical condition in which the stomach muscles fail to work properly, resulting in delayed emptying of food and liquids. The term comes from the Greek words gastro- (stomach) and -paresis (partial paralysis), reflecting the partial loss of normal stomach motility.

In a healthy digestive system, muscles in the stomach contract to move food into the small intestine. In people with gastroparesis, these contractions are weak or irregular, causing food to remain in the stomach for longer than normal. This can interfere with digestion and nutrient absorption, leading to a variety of uncomfortable symptoms.
