10 Esophagitis Symptoms
Symptom #8: Regurgitation or Reflux
Regurgitation or reflux refers to the backflow of stomach contents into the esophagus, even reaching the throat. This can occur when there is a dysfunction of the gastroesophageal junction/sphincter. It is a symptom seen in esophagitis and gastroesophageal reflux disease.
The risk factors include obesity, hiatal hernia, smoking, pregnancy, and the use of certain medications. It can result in complications such as esophageal stricture and Barrett’s esophagus.
