Esophageal leukoplakia is usually reviewed once every six months to one year.
Esophageal leukoplakia is a white patch of excessive keratinization of the mucous membrane of the esophagus due to irritation, which may be related to patients’ long-term intake of spicy and greasy food, as well as factors such as long-term smoking and drinking. Generally, patients do not have obvious symptoms, but if the symptoms continue to develop, they may have symptoms such as sternal pain and swallowing discomfort.
Patients should remove the causative factors in time, which can be treated by surgical stripping, and teprenone can be used to promote mucosal recovery, and usually review once every six months to one year.
Patients with esophageal leukoplakia should go to the hospital for timely treatment and follow the doctor’s instructions for post-treatment review.
