Symptoms of esophagitis and pharyngitis

summary

Esophagitis is esophagitis, which refers to the inflammation caused by edema and congestion of esophageal mucosa due to stimulation or injury of superficial or deep tissue of esophageal mucosa. Chemical stimulation includes gastric acid, bile, liquor, strong acid, strong base, medicine, etc; Physical stimulation includes scalded food and drink, incarceration of foreign body (fishbone, etc.) in esophagus, long-term placement of nasogastric tube, etc. Symptoms of esophagitis and pharyngitis? Let's talk about it

Symptoms of esophagitis and pharyngitis

The main symptoms of esophagitis are dysphagia, dysphagia, heartburn and retrosternal pain. When esophagitis is serious, it can cause esophageal spasm and esophageal stenosis. When inflammation of the lower part of the esophagus leads to mucosal degeneration, and then columnar epithelial cells grow out of the stomach, it is called the Barrow's esophagus. This is the precursor of esophageal cancer, and its changes must be tracked for a long time. In general, the bleeding of esophagitis is mild, but it may also cause hematemesis.

Under normal conditions, gastric acid does not flow back to the esophagus, the lower part of the esophageal high pressure area and acid reflux disorders. If the cardia becomes loose for some reason, the pressure in the high pressure area will drop or even disappear, and the gastric acid and bile will flow back to the esophagus, causing strong irritation to the esophageal mucosa and esophagitis. Lying flat after a meal, eating too much, eating too much sweet or greasy food can cause reflux from the stomach to the esophagus.

When feel "heartburn", or "heartache", drink hot water or eat stimulating food, the pain behind the sternum is obvious, are the symptoms of esophagitis. There are swallowing food feel choking, is due to esophageal edema, narrowing of the esophagus or esophageal wall due to inflammatory stimulation caused by spasmodic contraction.

matters needing attention

We have to be careful to do things, reduce psychological pressure, chew slowly, reduce the stimulation of stimulating food, so we can better prevent and treat esophagitis. Drink less acid drinks, quit smoking, especially avoid alcohol. Overweight people should lose weight and reduce the reflux caused by increased abdominal pressure.
