Esophageal and gastric disease

Esophageal and gastric disease

Multiple diseases can be categorized under Esophageal and gastric disease. GERD, Hiatal Hernia, Barrett's Esophagus, and Achalasia are the most common. When stomach acid passes back into the tube that connects the mouth and stomach, it's called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This backwash (acid reflux) can cause irritation in the esophageal lining. Chronic inflammation in the esophagus can lead to esophageal stricture and esophageal ulcer.
