A member asked:
Can a shrunken stomach be dangerous?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Please clarify...: When you say "shrunken" do you mean contracted, empty, malnourished, diseased, etc.? Also, how was this determined (x-ray, endoscopy, visual or manual exam)? By "stomach" are you referring to the abdomen as a whole, upper torso, or the actual stomach organ? Do you have other symptoms or concern? Happy to help if we understand your question.

If you are referring: To use of tightlacing - that can cause medical problems.
