Esophageal mucosal injury, how long does esophageal mucosal injury take to heal?

In general, it takes about two weeks for esophageal mucosal damage to recover.

If you pay attention to maintenance, you should be able to heal completely after a month.

Esophageal mucosal injury usually takes about 4 weeks, depending on the patient's condition.

If the damage to the esophageal mucosa is minor, it can heal in about a week. The exact time depends on the type of care. Avoid eating now and focus on light nutrition.

If the mucous membrane is severe, it does not heal on its own. After the doctor's advice, he must actively use drugs such as the gastrointestinal mucosa**. If the damage to the esophagus is mild, it usually heals on its own within a week.

However, if the injury is severe, it is more difficult Currently, patients need to use proton pump inhibitors under medical guidance. Gastrointestinal protectors and other drugs should be actively administered, and surgery should be performed if necessary.

Esophageal mucosal lesions can be divided into several aspects. One is external physical injury. For example, we eat hard things, scrapes, or eat some fish bones.

It's possible. The symptoms it causes are a foreign body sensation, pain, and even bleeding. It depends on the extent of the injury, such as a minor complaint, which can take one to two days, two to three days, but if there is obvious severe bleeding, you may need to go to the hospital for a detailed examination in your case and **, so his time is not necessarily.

Another type of injury may be iatrogenic injury. For example, if we have a gastroscopy, sometimes there is a trauma that is generally not too serious, and the doctor will schedule a post-operative doctor's appointment for the patient based on your intraoperative condition. As long as we follow the doctor's instructions, we can do it.

Another type of injury may be epidemic esophagitis. We should be proactive in dealing with primary diseases.

This is a common and rare condition in which drinking some foreign substances, such as strong acids and bases, can cause damage to the esophagus. Another situation is that some corrosive liquids such as strong acids and strong bases are due to errors. Strictly speaking, it is not just mucus damage that often leads to full-thickness and severe trauma to the esophagus, it can also lead to strictures and even severe infections, perforations and other conditions that should be in the hospital**.

Depending on the severity of the condition, observation and ** may take a long time.

At the same time, it is also necessary to prevent gastrointestinal bleeding due to esophageal injury, and if this happens, it is also necessary to give hemostasis symptomatic ** and regular follow-up gastroscopy.

If the damage to the esophageal mucosa is mild, it can generally heal itself in about a week, and the specific time is related to the way of care. If the mucosal damage is severe, it will not heal on its own, and it is necessary to actively use drugs such as gastrointestinal mucosal protectors as prescribed**.

It may take 3 to 5 months to recover from the injury. Mainly because our esophagus is really very fragile, so we must do more protection at ordinary times.

It will take about a month. This problem is very serious and will affect the health of your esophagus, so you must pay attention to it and protect your esophagus at this time.

It takes about two months to recover, and try to eat some liquid food and not hard food at normal times.

Esophageal injury is a disease often caused by instruments or foreign bodies, with esophageal rupture and perforation as the main lesions, and if not treated in time, acute mediastinum, esophageal pleural fistula, and may be fatal. Due to the special anatomical location of the esophagus, it can be damaged by a variety of different causes, although many advances have been made in thoracic surgery in recent years, with the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and better nutritional support, which have led to many improvements in the outcomes of this type of disease.

The esophagus can be damaged by a number of different causes, and depending on the cause of the injury, it can be broadly divided into mechanical and chemical damage. Mechanical injuries can be further divided into intraluminal injuries and extraluminal injuries. In recent years, with the rapid increase in the number of cases of diagnosis and ** with instruments in the esophageal lumen, the proportion of iatrogenic esophageal injury in this type of disease has also been increasing, and it is divided into cervical esophageal injury, thoracic esophageal injury and abdominal esophageal injury according to the location of esophageal injury.

1.Endoluminal Injuries The use of endoluminal medical devices to diagnose and ** esophageal diseases is quite safe today, but it is not completely without danger. Intraluminal esophageal injuries occur more often during the diagnosis and diagnosis of the esophagus with these instruments, and complications are higher with rigid esophagoscopy than with flexible esophagoscopy.

Patients with supradiaphragmatic diverticulum, achalasia, and esophageal stricture are more likely to develop esophageal injury if not handled carelessly.

2.Extraluminal Injuries Extraluminal injuries are mainly due to chest or neck contusions or penetrating gunshot wounds or knife wounds, and are often co-existent with chest or other neck injuries.

The serous and submucosal layers in the intestinal structure contain tension-resistant collagen and elastic fibers, which are different from other parts of the digestive tract because the esophagus does not have a serous layer, making it more susceptible to injury. The mucosa of the posterior cervical wall of the esophagus is covered with a thin fibrous membrane, the middle part is covered only by the right pleura, and the lower part is covered by the left pleura without soft tissue support, plus the normal intrapleural pressure is lower than atmospheric pressure, these are anatomical factors that predispose the esophagus to injury. The complication of the injury caused by the examination of the esophageal lumen with an instrument and the injury is mainly the perforation of the esophagus.

The site of esophageal perforation is the cervical esophagus at the junction of the cricopharyngeal and pharyngeal sphincters, and about 50% of esophageal perforations occur in the cricopharyngeal lannier'The S triangle consists of the pharyngeal sphincter and the cricopharyngeal muscles at the level of the cervical spine. When there is a cervical bone spur and neck hyperextension, it is very easy to be injured and perforated. The second part of the esophageal injury that is easy to be caused by instrumentation is the upper esophagus, which is relatively narrow and partially fixed with the hila, aortic arch and left main bronchi.

Other sites that are prone to injury are the junction of the distal esophagus to the stomach, as well as the proximal part of the obstructive lesion, the site where the esophageal cancer extends, and the site where the disease is examined or dilated.

After esophageal perforation, a large number of bacteria contained in the oral cavity are swallowed with saliva, and the gastric juice and gastric contents with strong acidity are more likely to flow into the mediastinum through the perforated part under the action of negative pressure in the chest cavity, resulting in mediastinal infection and erosion of digestive juices, and can penetrate the mediastinal pleura into the thoracic cavity, causing purulent inflammation in the thoracic cavity.
