Reflux esophagitis is inflammation of the esophagus caused by the backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus, a condition commonly known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The constant exposure to acid can damage the esophageal lining, leading to symptoms such as heartburn, chest pain, difficulty swallowing, and regurgitation. Chronic reflux esophagitis can lead to complications like esophageal ulcers, strictures, or Barrett’s esophagus. Diagnosis is usually made through endoscopy, pH monitoring, and other diagnostic tests. Treatment involves lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, and medications to reduce acid production and manage symptoms effectively.
