Esophagitis usually requires gastroscopy about once a year, which needs to be decided according to the severity of the condition.
Esophagitis is caused by damage to the mucosa of the esophagus and edema and congestion, which will lead to acid reflux, chest pain, heartburn, and difficulty in swallowing. It is necessary to go to the hospital for a gastroscopy, and take medication under the guidance of the doctor, such as domperidone tablets, omeprazole enteric-coated tablets, lansoprazole tablets and so on, which will make the inflammation of the esophagus subside.
If the symptoms of esophagitis are not very serious, gastroscopy should be done once a year or so, and if the esophagitis is more serious, gastroscopy needs to be done once every six months or so. Endoscopic esophagitis is still likely to recur after healing.
