Ph manometry Results
I am having recurrent esophagitis
Some time it's coming and going away
I am having swallowing difficulties some time
And going away without medicines.
Some time I used to take medicines if I cant tolerate.
I took ph manometry test also this month.
Report showing no reflux was found.
My doctor told it may be acidity
But the esophagitis problem comes and goes still.
Is acidity leads to esophagitis?
Yes acidity leads to esophagitis. The esophageal sphincter is sometimes lax which leads to acid reflux into the esophagus. Esophageal mucosa isn't habitual to acid and hence gets ulcerated and inflammed to cause esophagitis. You should take a course of PPI and prokinetic for 4 weeks. Consult a gastroenterologist for the same.
