医生表示,大部分胃酸倒流的成因,是由于食道连接胃部的下食道括约肌经常松弛,未能发挥“守门员”的作用,令胃酸倒流入食道。由于食道没有黏膜保护,当胃酸倒流入食道时,会引起胸口灼痛、吞咽困难等征状,患者多数于饭后感到不适。晚上临睡前进食,食物在胃部内未能消化,容易引起胃胀,增加括约肌松弛机会。不少专业人士工作忙碌,经常进食消夜或太夜进食,都会增加患病机会。 The doctor said most of the causes of acid reflux were due to frequent relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter in the esophagus connected to the stomach and failure to play a role as a “goalkeeper”, causing stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus. Because there is no mucosal protection of the esophagus, when the acid reflux into the esophagus, can cause chest pain, swallowing and other symptoms, most patients feel unwell after a meal. Eating at night before going to sleep, food in the stomach failed to digest, easily lead to bloating, increased sphincter relaxation opportunities. Many professionals work busy, frequent consumption of night snacks or night eating, will increase the chances of illness.
