Gastric mucosal erosion and esophagitis
Disease description:
I am a patient with esophagitis. Recently, my gastric mucosa has become eroded. Is there a connection between gastric mucosal erosion and esophagitis?
Gastric mucosal erosion is related to esophagitis. Gastritis can lead to excessive secretion of gastric acid, causing reflux esophagitis. Additionally, digestive dysfunction often occurs; therefore, under the guidance of a healthcare professional, oral medications that protect the esophageal mucosa should be taken for prevention. In terms of diet, avoid overly sweet, sour, spicy, and irritating foods. Eat small, frequent meals and avoid overeating.
