Acid reflux due to out-of-control sphincter switch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The full name of acid reflux is "gastroesophageal reflux disease", which refers to the abnormal backflow of stomach acid or food that has been transported to the stomach into the esophagus, which then irritates or even damages the esophageal mucosa. Normally, the esophageal sphincter, which controls the "gate" switch at the lower end of the esophagus to the stomach, opens to allow food to enter the stomach and release gas after eating; closes to prevent backflow of gastric juices or food. If the patient's sphincter becomes abnormal and becomes loose and cannot open and close normally, it will cause gastric juice and food to back up into the esophagus, especially when the patient is lying down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acid Reflux Symptoms: With Burning Heartburn, Difficulty Swallowing, and Pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mild patients may experience intermittent acid reflux or chest burning (commonly known as burning heart); in severe cases, gastric acid can not only flow back to the vocal cords, trachea, and lungs, but also cause erosive esophagitis, esophageal ulcers, and esophageal lumen fibrosis. , Barlow's esophagus and other complications, and even increase the risk of esophageal cancer. If you often feel burning discomfort in the chest, difficulty and pain when swallowing, throat inflammation, or even bloody vomit, it is recommended to consult a doctor to arrange a gastroscope for detailed examination to find out the cause of the discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

risk factors for acid reflux<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many causes of acid reflux, especially remind you not to lie down and sleep immediately after meals, so as not to increase the risk of acid reflux; in addition, other risk factors are involved, such as eating too full or too fast, obesity, pregnancy, smoking, Or it may be caused by an increase in the secretion of hormones that control the release of stomach acid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the mood is prone to anxiety and tension, it will also affect the function of the stomach and intestines. The Faculty of Medicine of the Chinese University conducted a survey on the gastrointestinal and emotional health of Hong Kong people. It was found that among patients with acid reflux symptoms many times a week, the proportion of "frequent anxiety" was higher than that of the general population (that is, those without acid reflux symptoms) ) is 4 times higher, and some patients suffer from depression at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changing Dietary Habits to Reduce Acid Reflux<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To treat acid reflux, doctors will prescribe antiacid drugs and proton pump inhibitors to reduce gastric acid secretion. In severe cases, surgery to tighten the sphincter may also be considered. If emotional illness is the main cause of the illness, it is recommended to receive emotional treatment first, otherwise the repeated illness will also make the mood worse, resulting in a vicious circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To cure the problem of gastric acid reflux, patients should first start with their personal diet and living habits. If the stomach is often uncomfortable, you should avoid eating irritating or indigestible foods to reduce the damage to the gastric wall mucosa caused by excessive gastric acid secretion. In addition, it is recommended to eat less food that can easily induce acid reflux:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
