Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach aches sometimes with symptoms of burning and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was fine for a while, but it started again. Can gastroesophageal reflux disease be cured?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to what you said, in clinical diagnosis, gastroesophageal reflux disease can be self-healed. It is caused by excessive gastric acid excretion flowing downward, which leads to irritation of the esophageal mucosa. It is recommended to check an endoscopy and a breath test to see if there is Helicobacter pylori infection. If there is, it is also treated with antibiotics. You can consider taking a proton pump inhibitor orally, which can significantly inhibit gastric acid excretion and protect the mucosa.
