Why does it cause reflux esophagitis?

Patients with reflux esophagitis can be caused by decreased anti-reflux function, decreased esophageal clearance capacity, delayed gastric emptying, etc., as follows:

1. When reflux esophagitis occurs due to decreased anti-reflux function

, the lower esophageal sphincter occurs. Abnormality will cause a decrease in anti-reflux function, resulting in reflux materials continuing to stimulate the esophageal mucosa, causing reflux esophagitis.

2. Reduced esophageal clearance capacity After the esophageal clearance capacity is reduced

, the reflux materials cannot be removed in time, so that the reflux materials continue to stimulate the esophageal mucosa, causing reflux esophagitis.

3. Delayed gastric emptying Delayed

gastric emptying can easily lead to food not being digested and absorbed in time after entering the stomach, and can easily cause stomach contents to reflux to the esophagus, resulting in reflux esophagitis.
