Reflujo gastroesofágico

El reflujo gastroesofágico es un trastorno digestivo en el que el ácido del estómago se vuelve a introducir en el esófago. Por lo general, se produce debido a la debilidad en el esfínter esofágico inferior, el anillo de músculo entre el esófago y el estómago. También ocurre regularmente en personas sanas, donde se manifiesta como acidez o indigestión ácida pero éstos son generalmente episodios cortos, esporádicos comparados a la enfermedad a largo plazo del reflujo gastroesophageal.
