Esophagitis that does not heal in three months is usually not cancerous, but if it continues to remain unhealed, it may become cancerous.
Esophagitis is a chronic inflammation caused by gastric acid reflux and other diseases, which damages the esophageal mucosa, stimulates the esophageal mucosa and causes congestion and edema of the mucosa. Patients may experience symptoms such as stomach burning, acid reflux, and difficulty in swallowing pain. Patients should receive timely treatment with drugs such as omeprazole and aluminum thioglycollate and make dietary adjustments, and if the treatment is timely, cancer will not usually occur.
If patients do not have timely treatment, it may lead to aggravation of esophagitis and the appearance of precancerous lesions such as Barrett’s esophagus, resulting in the occurrence of cancer, but cancerous esophagitis also takes many years, and three months are generally not enough for cancerous lesions to occur.
If the patient’s esophagitis is not cured for a long time, he or she should go to the hospital for treatment in time to prevent cancer from occurring.
