Does gastroesophageal reflux disease cause harm?

Patient's question:

I felt a bit uncomfortable with my throat a couple of days ago. It was difficult to swallow when eating. I want to know what the hazards of gastroesophageal reflux disease are?

Doctor's answer:

Bile reflux gastritis can lead to digestive system dysfunction, causing recurrent inflammation of the stomach itself and systemic effects on nutritional metabolism, vegetative nervous system regulation, endocrine hormone release levels, growth and development functions, as well as overall autoimmune functions, making it a significant potential factor for the development of secondary diseases. In severe cases, it can directly affect the patient's digestive system. Therefore, the harm of reflux esophagitis is considerable, and it is important to seek medical diagnosis and treatment promptly.
