Nowadays, many people have a habit of eating and sleeping, eating late or preferring to eat buffet style. Make acid reflux disease come on easily. But is it true that acid reflux carries the risk of esophageal cancer? Dr. Passakorn Wanchaijibun Oncologist Member and Assistant Secretary General of the Medical Council, Deputy Director of King Prajadhipok Hospital Advanced Cancer Center Describe the symptoms of acid reflux with Hfocus that after eating. Food enters the esophagus into the stomach. Usually, the sphincter is located in the area of the esophagus that connects to the stomach. between the small intestine It is closed to allow digestion of food with gastric juice. The acid rises in the stomach for digestion. It takes time to clear the stomach contents before they enter the small intestine. On average, it takes about an hour and a half to two hours and the acid is at its peak. this period if the sphincter is bad or if you eat too much In the case of eating buffet There is a lot of pressure in the stomach. When the sphincter deteriorates, the pressure causes vomiting. When the sphincter is not working very well The acid will rise up. If reversed from the esophagus to the stomach, a burning sensation occurs in the center of the chest. But when more acid reflux comes around the mouth. it will cause vomiting or when sleeping and unknowingly suffocates acid in the trachea but will hit the larynx first irritate the larynx Observed by symptoms in the morning after waking up, voice is hoarse, chronic sore throat.
“If acid reflux is a lot, reflux often, when it often affects the esophagus The esophagus is not as thick as the stomach, thus causing an ulcer. The body was trying to adapt. It generates new tissues to replace the acidic tissue. Each cell division from normal if very often Some abnormal cells may be found. If the body has enough to get rid of the abnormal cells, it will not be cancerous. But if it is produced often, there must be mistakes. If it detaches more, it becomes esophageal cancer. . in particular cancer of the distal esophagus “. Dr. Passakorn explained
Doctor Passakorn Added that eating and sleeping behavior also causes chronic sore throats. Chronic hoarseness It can also cause obesity. why the body needs to burn When you sleep, your metabolic rate will drop. When the body has finished digesting food If not used, it makes you fat, the advice is not to eat before bedtime. If you have finished eating, you should walk for 2-3 hours, do not lie down immediately. because the chances of acid reflux are greater Another important part is the sphincter: if the sphincter is good, the problem will be less. but digestion time The pressure in the stomach is high. The sphincter will deteriorate rapidly if acid reflux occurs frequently. The older you get, the easier it will be for acid reflux. The sphincter also wears out faster.
