The stomach gets smaller and smaller when you are hungry. It is usually not true.

Is it true that the stomach is getting smaller and smaller?

Stomach tissue is a digestive organ of the human body. It is flexible and usually expands with excessive eating. However, if the patient does not eat for a long time, the stomach will be in a contracted state, causing digestive function to decline. However, the actual capacity or volume of the stomach will not decrease, so the volume of the stomach will not change abnormally with the eating state. However, if the patient has stomach cancer, it is not treated in time after the disease, causing cancer cells to stimulate stomach tissue and affect the surrounding blood supply, which may lead to stomach atrophy, which will lead to a decrease in volume or capacity.
