Barrett’s esophagus is a condition where esophageal cells change due to acid reflux. Learn its symptoms, causes, types, risk factors, and possible complications for early diagnosis and care.

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.
