Introduction
The recovery time for esophageal erosion varies among individuals, but generally, benign lesions heal within 1 to 2 months. To accelerate recovery, patients should actively cooperate with their physician's treatment plan and maintain healthy lifestyle and dietary habits. Elevating the head of the bed appropriately during rest can reduce gastroesophageal reflux when lying down. These measures help alleviate the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and promote healing of the eroded areas.

    The recovery time for贲门糜烂 (gastric cardia erosion) varies depending on individual differences, but generally, benign lesions take about 1 to 2 months to heal. To accelerate recovery, patients should actively cooperate with their doctor's treatment plan and maintain healthy lifestyle and dietary habits. A detailed analysis is as follows:

    For mild贲门糜烂 or benign lesions, the typical recovery time is 1 to 2 months. This is primarily under conditions of small erosion area, mild inflammation, and good patient physical condition with active participation in treatment.

    If贲门糜烂 is more severe, accompanied by complications such as gastroesophageal reflux or Helicobacter pylori infection, or if the patient's physical condition is poor, the recovery period may be longer, potentially exceeding 2 months.

    During the illness, patients should avoid overeating and eating too quickly, and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods. Elevating the head of the bed appropriately during rest can reduce gastric fluid reflux when lying down. These measures help alleviate the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and promote healing of the eroded areas.
