GERD esophagitis, also known as erosive esophagitis, is a complication of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It refers to the inflammation and damage to the lining of the esophagus caused by the frequent exposure to stomach acid due to the malfunctioning of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES).
In GERD esophagitis, the constant backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus irritates and erodes the delicate lining, leading to inflammation and tissue damage.
Homeopathy effectively treats GERD by reducing acid build-up, relieving pain, and strengthening the LES muscles. Wellness Homeo Clinic provides safe, natural remedies personalized to your symptoms and severity, ensuring long-term relief from GERD without recurrence. Suitable for all ages.

GERD can be diagnosed based on symptoms such as frequent heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain, difficulty swallowing, and a persistent cough. A healthcare professional can provide an accurate diagnosis through a medical evaluation and possibly additional tests.
Factors such as weakened lower esophageal sphincter, unhealthy eating habits, smoking, certain medications, hiatal hernia, and stress contribute to GERD.
Individuals with weak lower esophageal sphincter (LES), obesity, hiatal hernia, smoking habits, poor eating habits, and those under high stress are at a higher risk of developing GERD.
The chances of developing Barrett's esophagus, a complication of GERD, vary. However, long-term and severe GERD increases the risk. Regular monitoring and early detection are crucial to managing the condition effectively. Consult a healthcare professional for personalized assessment and guidance.
The prevalence of GERD varies, but it is estimated that around 18 to 28 percent of adults in the United States experience symptoms of GERD.
