Gastroesophageal reflux disease, commonly known as heartburn, is characterized by a burning sensation in the chest. Symptoms often occur when eating, bending and lying down. Almost everyone has experienced mild reflux, but gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a frequent disease and causes trouble to normal life. What about long-term gastroesophageal reflux? Next, I'd like to share my views with you.

What about long-term gastroesophageal reflux?

First: the appearance of gastroesophageal reflux shows that the human body not only has a high concentration of gastric acid secretion, but also implies that the reverse peristalsis of your stomach has been very serious. When gastroesophageal reflux is serious, people will not only have hiccups, dyspepsia, abdominal distension and other conditions, but also affect the health of the esophagus, resulting in repeated ulcer and damage of the esophageal mucosa. In the long run, it is easy to lead to the emergence of esophageal cancer and endanger life and health.

Second: the structure of the stomach is very strange, the stomach is located in the upper left of the abdominal cavity, it is connected to the esophagus, the entrance is the cardia, the outlet is the pylorus. The cardia is like a door to the stomach, which controls the food in and out. When there is no need to eat, it will "close the door" to prevent the food in the stomach from flowing back to the esophagus.

Third: the stomach and esophagus are relatively fragile, so we can see that a reasonable diet is very important for the stomach and esophagus. One very important thing is not to eat too hot food or water, otherwise it is easy to burn the esophagus, or even increase the risk of esophageal cancer.
