Deep dives
Understanding Hiatal Hernia
A hiatal hernia occurs when part of the stomach pushes through the diaphragm into the chest cavity, which can lead to various complications. This condition can cause symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, chronic acid reflux, and even Barrett's esophagus, where inflammation and infection may develop in the esophagus. The compression of the esophagus by the stomach can lead to chronic inflammatory states, which may subsequently cause scarring. Doctors in the Western medical community may downplay the severity of a hiatal hernia, often recommending surgery only when issues escalate, highlighting a gap in the understanding of its long-term implications.
