Barrett's Esophagus is a condition where the tissue lining the esophagus changes due to chronic acid reflux, increasing the risk of esophageal cancer. Common symptoms include frequent heartburn, difficulty swallowing, and chest pain. Causes are often linked to long-term
gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and lifestyle factors like diet and smoking. Treatment options focus on managing acid reflux with lifestyle changes, medications, and in some cases, surgery to reduce symptoms and prevent complications. Early diagnosis and regular monitoring are essential for effective management.
