What causes reflux esophagitis and how to treat it

Reflux esophagitis may be related to factors such as decreased anti-reflux ability, decreased esophageal clearance ability, delayed gastric emptying, etc. 1, decreased anti-reflux ability: patients due to abnormal lower esophageal sphincter, esophageal and gastric junction structural changes and other factors leading to decreased anti-reflux ability, it is easy to occur gastric content reflux phenomenon. Reflux can cause continuous damage to esophageal mucosa, thus causing reflux esophagitis. 2. Reduced esophageal clearance capacity: patients due to decreased esophageal clearance capacity, it will also lead to gastric content reflux, and then cause reflux esophagitis. 3. Delayed gastric emptying: Patients due to gastrointestinal motility weakened, pyloric obstruction and other factors lead to delayed gastric emptying, so that gastric contents to the esophageal reflux increased opportunities, so it will cause reflux esophagitis. This disease can be treated by general treatment, drug treatment, surgical treatment and other ways. 1, general treatment: patients need to raise the bed after eating. If there is obesity, weight should be controlled within a reasonable range as far as possible. 2. Drug treatment: Pantoprazole, domperidone, bismuth potassium citrate and other drugs can be used under the guidance of doctors to reduce gastric acid secretion and promote gastric emptying and esophageal mucosa healing. 3. Surgical treatment: If the patient does not respond well to conservative treatment, surgery may also be considered to reduce food reflux.
