There is no definitive data on the cure time for Barrett’s esophagus, but long-term follow-up is usually required.
Barrett’s esophagus is a lesion of GERD, which manifests as the replacement of normal squamous epithelium by columnar epithelium, and is usually detected indicating signs of cancer. Symptoms are similar to those of GERD, such as reflux, heartburn, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing.
Barrett’s esophagus requires long-term treatment, mainly acid-suppressing drugs such as omeprazole and gastrointestinal stimulants such as mosapride, which should be used under the guidance of a doctor, to adjust the eating status, and surgical treatment if necessary, etc., as well as long-term follow-up. If it develops into esophageal cancer, surgical resection, radiotherapy, etc. are needed.
Therefore, if you find Barrett’s esophagus, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying to cancer.
