Corrosion of oesophagus - what does this mean

Corrosion of the oesophagus is caused by prolonged exposure to corrosive chemicals or liquids that damage the lining of the oesophagus, leading to inflammation and ulceration of the tissue. this can occur due to accidental ingestion of corrosive substances, or due to reflux of stomach acid into the oesophagus. in some cases, the corrosive material may cause a hole in the oesophagus.

What happens during the disease - corrosion of oesophagus

Corrosion of the oesophagus is caused by a combination of factors, including frequent contact with acidic substances, such as stomach acid, frequent vomiting, and the presence of certain diseases such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd). the acidity of the stomach acid erodes the protective lining of the oesophagus, causing inflammation, irritation, and ulceration of the mucosal lining. this can lead to pain, difficulty swallowing, and even bleeding.
