Reflux Esophagitis
Reflux esophagitis is inflammation of the esophagus caused by the repeated rise of the acidic stomach contents into this tube. It is one of the frequent consequences of gastroesophageal reflux when it is sustained over time.
Common symptoms: Burning in the chest or heartburn, regurgitation, discomfort when swallowing, and, at times, cough or hoarseness that keep coming back.
Associated factors: Being overweight, certain large or irritating meals, eating shortly before lying down, smoking, and some anatomical changes have an influence.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist is the point of reference for its study and follow-up, with support from the endoscopist when it is necessary to observe the esophagus. If heartburn is frequent or you have trouble swallowing, discussing it with a doctor makes it possible to identify the cause and tailor the recommendations to your situation.
