My endoscopy was clear, but I'm still experiencing pain. Why?

It could be non-erosive reflux disease without mucosal damage.

내시경 검사상 식도 점막의 손상은 보이지 않지만, 역류 증상을 느끼는 경우를 비미란성 역류질환(NERD)이라고 합니다. 눈에 보이는 염증이 없더라도 환자분이 겪는 통증과 불편함은 실제 상황입니다.

  • 식도 지각 과민: 적은 양의 위산 역류에도 민감하게 통증을 느낌
  • 스트레스: 심리적 요인으로 인해 통증 감각이 더욱 증폭됨
  • 비율: 전체 역류성 식도염 환자의 약 60% 이상이 이에 해당함
🩺 진단 포인트

내시경 소견보다는 환자분의 자각 증상과 병력을 중심으로 진단하고 치료합니다.
