Reflux and stomach ulcer – Espoo

85 practitioners in Espoo

Reflux disease (GERD) means that stomach contents rise back into the esophagus, causing a burning sensation behind the breastbone (heartburn), acid regurgitation, or coughing. Long-term reflux can damage the lining of the esophagus and increase the risk of esophageal cancer. A stomach ulcer occurs when the lining of the stomach or duodenum is damaged.
