If a patient has an illness that has impaired the involuntary muscles' ability to contract, the peristaltic movement of the large intestine would have decreased. Peristalsis is the automatic wave-like movement of the muscles that line your gastrointestinal tract.
Peristalsis moves food through your digestive system, starting in your throat when you swallow and continuing through your esophagus, stomach, and intestines as you digest. Megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS) is a serious disorder affecting the muscles that line the bladder and intestines. It is characterized by impairment of muscle contractions that move food through the digestive tract (peristalsis) and empty the bladder.
