Why do you have burning?
Although there is a large amount of acid (hydrochloric acid) in the stomach, it is normal that they do not cause discomfort because their walls are prepared to withstand it. However, when acid rises from the stomach into the esophagus you have the burning sensation (and sometimes pain) because the walls of the esophagus are more sensitive. Therefore, in most cases, burning is due to the passage of acid from the stomach into the esophagus. This is called "gastroesophageal reflux" ("reflux" of backward flow and "gastroesophageal" indicating the direction from stomach (gastro) to esophagus.
- Esófago de Barret
Achalasia of the esophagus is a rare disease characterized by poor esophageal clearance. Esophageal evacuation is limited due to poor esophageal peristalsis, a lack of relaxation of the lower esophagus sphincter after swallowing and in a small group of patients, this is aggravated by the presence of a lower esophagus sphincter with high pressure.
The alteration of the esophageal emptying leads to a progressive dilation of the esophagus.
- Divertículos
The esophagus is a muscular duct that connects the throat to the stomach and allows food to enter the stomach to be digested.
- Otros: disfagia, etc.
