Esophageal diverticula need to be treated because there is a risk of esophageal reflux or perforation, among other things. Esophageal diverticulum is a limited bulging of one or all layers of the esophageal wall, forming a pouch that communicates with the lumen of the esophagus. Most patients have no obvious clinical symptoms, and some have retrosternal discomfort. If the diverticular sac is large, symptoms such as shortness of breath, cough, chest pain, vomiting and nausea may occur, which may not only lead to infection and dysphagia, but also esophageal reflux or perforation in severe cases. This disease is mainly treated by surgery, if combined with inflammation or edema, anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic drugs can be used to relieve symptoms. In addition, patients should choose to eat soft foods that are rich in nutrients and easy to digest. If the patient is diagnosed with esophageal diverticulum, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital in a timely manner, to clarify the cause of the disease, and then carry out targeted treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
