Показать описание
Acid reflux has been implemented as one of the common causes for our throat cancer but we can never predict how long for the acid to damage the inner lining so much that it can turn to cancerous situation. Even before that happens, acid reflux symptoms, that is throat is getting burned because of the acid reflux, that means there is a lot more happening inside. Before the throat is getting burned the food pipe, that is the esophagus, is also getting burned. So once that happens there is a lot of symptoms like chest tightness, throat tightness, inability to swallow comfortably. So obviously we would seek some medical help and most of the times when we do per gastrointestinal endoscopy, we would see changes in the lower end of the esophagus, which is in close proximity to the acid region, that is the stomach, we start seeing symptoms there. In rare scenarios there can be a throat affection, but we cannot square the blame only on acid reflux alone. If the throat is getting burned, it is advisable to seek medical help and make sure that that is controlled to prevent the cancerous situation. Prevention is better than cure.
