Good night everyone, long time no post in my blog coz i was busy to work with my homework last week, and my first post in this april is about a disease that maybe almost all of the people ever got this.... Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Well you can check my post if you want to know more about it....
Gastroesophageal (pronounced: gas-tro-ih-sah-fuh-jee-ul) reflux disease is a disorder that results from stomach acid moving backward from the stomach into the esophagus. GERD usually happens because the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) — the muscular valve where the esophagus joins the stomach — opens at the wrong time or does not close properly.
When the stomach contents move backward into the esophagus, this is known as gastroesophageal reflux. (Because the stomach makes acid to help a person digest food, gastroesophageal reflux is also known as acid reflux.) Almost everyone has this type of reflux at some time. Often a person isn't even aware this is happening.
GERD can causes a Heart Burn. Heartburn is an irritation of the esophagus that is caused by stomach acid( in this case because of GERD) . This can create a burning discomfort in the upper abdomen or below the breast bone. And believe me, It's really hurt because i ever felt it.
