Reflux esophagitis is an inflammatory manifestation caused by long-term reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus! At the same time gastroscopic examination of external esophagitis cause attention and active treatment! Clinically, some patients are asymptomatic, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common disease. Our reflux esophageal disease is mostly non-erosive reflux disease. GERD causes cancer only effective means of prevention: standardized long course of drug therapy or surgical treatment to effectively control the condition, to avoid the esophageal mucosa in the "damage-repair-damage-repair" vicious cycle and to regular follow-up endoscopy.
In fact, about 60% of patients do not cause esophageal erosion, it can only be called non-erosive GERD, compared with non-erosive GERD, indeed, esophagitis reflux is not so common! Some people get acid reflux and heartburn after eating and drinking, others get heartburn after enjoying delicious cakes and espresso, and if this happens often, it is likely to be reflux esophagitis.
Secondary esophagitis caused by esophageal spasm is usually intermittent dysphagia, and persistent dysphagia can lead to esophageal stenosis, and once the esophagus is narrowed, the amount of food eaten will be reduced. When a patient visits the doctor, the doctor usually asks the patient about his or her symptoms and the time of onset of the disease, and combines this with a gastroscopy or a barium meal test to diagnose and evaluate the severity of the disease and to take the appropriate treatment.
Inflammation of the esophageal mucosa, erosion, ulceration, esophageal fibrosis is a common disease, the common symptoms are: acid reflux, heartburn in the throat, and even some people woke up in the middle of the night, burning throat insomnia, taking medication for a month, gastric disease should pay attention to the incidence of gastric cancer in China is now quite high, pay attention to the diet, eat three meals a day on time, and finally, I wish you a speedy recovery.
So there is a risk of cancer. But the probability is not high. The main cause of esophageal cancer is not very accurate, but it has a lot to do with smoking and alcohol consumption, and has little to do with esophagitis. Currently, Helicobacter pylori infection and structural damage to the lower esophageal sphincter are the main causes of acid reflux. In addition, the use of hormones such as glucagon, diazepam and rich foods may also contribute to gastric reflux.
