Barrett’s esophagus can usually be treated at home, or hospitalized if symptoms are severe, depending on the severity of the disease.
Barrett’s esophagus can usually be treated at home if the lesion site is less heterogeneous, symptoms are reduced, and there is no dysphagia or other discomfort. This is done by changing the diet to be light and easily digestible and, if necessary, medication such as the acid suppressant omeprazole and the gastric stimulant domperidone.
If the lesion is severe, the heterogeneity is obvious, the possibility of malignancy is high, or if the lesion site has esophageal narrowing and dysphagia, which is difficult to control with medication, hospitalization and endoscopic resection of the lesion site is required.
Whether it is better to treat Barrett’s esophagus at home or hospitalized should be judged according to one’s own situation, and the treatment should be reasonably standardized under the guidance of doctors.
