What is esophageal wall fibrosis?

summary

What is esophageal wall fibrosis? Esophageal wall fibrosis refers to the chronic and repeated damage of esophagitis, which can cause full-thickness destruction and fibrosis of the esophagus, resulting in esophageal stenosis. Esophagitis refers to the inflammation caused by edema and hyperemia of esophageal mucosa due to abnormal stimulation of superficial or deep esophageal mucosa.

What is esophageal wall fibrosis?

Swallowing hot food, sharp foreign body or chewed bone insufficiently, ingesting corrosive agents directly damage the esophageal mucosa and cause inflammation. When the veterinarian perfuses the dog and cat with the gastric catheter, the rough use of the gastric catheter can often damage the esophageal mucosa.

Physical or chemical esophagitis: the reaction of esophagitis caused by radiation is called radiation esophagitis. Drugs such as quinidine, tetracycline, potassium chloride and iron can stimulate the esophageal mucosa, especially when the tablets stagnate in the esophagus, which can also cause esophagitis. Esophagitis caused by overheated food can quickly heal itself. Long term use of gastric tube, stimulation of esophagus, can also cause esophagitis.

Most of them are over 40 years old. The lower esophageal sphincter of normal people acts as a barrier to prevent gastric contents from flowing back into the esophagus. When the sphincter is dysfunctional, such as hiatal hernia or other reasons, the gastric contents may flow back into the esophagus. Gastric juice contains acid, can also contain bile or pancreatic juice. These substances are harmful to the esophagus. If they flow into the esophagus repeatedly for a long time, they will cause inflammation, erosion and even ulcer on the esophageal mucosa. Chronic repeated damage can cause the whole layer destruction and fibrosis of the esophagus, resulting in esophageal stenosis. The main clinical manifestations were heartburn, symptoms appeared when lying on one's back at night, and symptoms relieved when sitting up. This is a typical manifestation. The increase of abdominal pressure during lifting can also cause reflux. Some foods, such as orange juice, can cause symptoms. X-ray barium meal examination showed that barium could flow up and down between esophagus and stomach, which was the basis of diagnosis. Esophagoscopy showed that there were white flake exudation, erosion, ulcer and easy bleeding in the esophageal wall.

matters needing attention

To treat inflammation, we should start from improving our own constitution and starve the inflammatory cells from the source. Eat more alkaline food, improve their own acidic constitution, at the same time supplement the human body must organic nutrients, so as to starve inflammatory cells at the same time, restore their own immunity. Pay attention not to eat hard food on the diet, eat something easy to digest, protect the gastric mucosa if necessary.
