I'm sharing my experience treating reflux esophagitis.

I'd like to share my experience with reflux esophagitis (GERD). I'll also share the symptoms I experienced and the management I used to alleviate them. Through this story, I want to emphasize the importance of consistent management in daily life.

 

I had pain around my left rib cage and received treatment for reflux esophagitis at a local internal medicine clinic. However, even after taking the medication, the pain persisted. Along with the pain around my left rib cage, my back also felt numb. The medication didn't help...

 

So, to find out if there were any other causes and what the cause was, I went to a general hospital and had an abdominal CT scan. There was no unusual abnormality, so I was just prescribed additional gastritis relief and painkillers and took them.

 

Not long after that, the pain started again, so I visited a general hospital again and had an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, and was diagnosed with reflux esophagitis and began treatment for reflux esophagitis.

 

Reflux esophagitis is an inflammation of the esophagus that occurs when stomach contents or acid reflux into the esophagus. It occurs when the organs are not functioning normally and the part that prevents food from flowing back into the stomach is not properly controlled.

 

After being diagnosed with this type of reflux esophagitis, I tried to treat it by not lying down for at least two hours after eating and by trying to avoid eating spicy foods as much as possible to help treat the reflux esophagitis.

 

Also, as a personal tip, I think it would be good to apply a warm compress to the abdomen to treat reflux esophagitis, so I use a warm compress pack every day. It doesn't eliminate the root cause of reflux esophagitis, but it's an easy practice to do in everyday life. Haha. I'll also share with you the herbal medicine I was prescribed before.

 

Since this type of reflux esophagitis requires consistent daily management, you need to pay attention to it and manage it on a regular basis.

 

However, when I'm stressed, my stomach becomes sensitive and I get relapses of reflux esophagitis due to excessive secretion of gastric acid. Consistent management is important for treating reflux esophagitis, and I think stress management is also important.

 

There is no one who does not experience stress, and the degree of stress varies, but before you go through a difficult time like me with reflux esophagitis treatment, I hope that you all find ways to relieve stress and stay healthy.^^
