Question
Hello doctor,
I have gastroesophageal reflux disease, I have been treated for more than a year without any relief. Symptoms are every 30 minutes after eating, there is a burning sensation in the throat, belching and antral inflammation. So the doctor told me the cause of gastric reflux? Is gastric reflux from gastritis? If gastritis is completely treated, will the reflux go away and how to treat it effectively? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “What causes acid reflux? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Typical symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux esophagitis include:
Heartburn. Pain in the epigastrium, above the sternum or in the back. Belching. Heartburn. Chronic cough persists. Hoarse voice. Sinusitis. Feeling stuck in the neck. Choking. Weight loss. Vomiting blood. The causes of gastroesophageal reflux disease are many. However, the most common cause may be damage to the lining of the esophagus because the sphincter between the esophagus and stomach is not tight. Some other causes of gastroesophageal reflux such as: HP bacteria, eating habits,...
Gastritis is not the cause of gastric reflux. Therefore, the treatment of gastritis does not mean the end of gastric reflux. The treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease requires you to be persistent and combine many measures at the same time as lifestyle changes, eating habits, activities, medications and even surgery.
Therefore, you should follow a gastroenterologist for more complete monitoring and advice.
If you still have questions about gastroesophageal reflux, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
