What's wrong with acid heartburn?

Gastric acid heartburn may be caused by gastritis, gastric ulcer and gastroesophageal reflux.

1. Gastritis and

gastritis are mostly caused by stress, drugs and alcohol. The stomach is affected by inflammation, which can cause abnormal secretion of gastric acid and stimulate gastric mucosa.

2. Gastric ulcer and gastric

ulcer are mainly caused by Helicobacter pylori infection, drugs and other factors. Gastric mucosa is damaged, which can stimulate excessive secretion of gastric acid and lead to gastric acid heartburn.

3. Gastroesophageal reflux is caused

by damage to anti-reflux structure and decreased defense ability of esophageal mucosa. Abnormal anti-reflux structure is easy to cause gastric acid or gastric juice to flow into esophagus, causing damage to esophageal mucosa.
