Unmasking the Culprit: Causes and Triggers

Understanding the underlying causes of silent reflux is crucial for effective treatment. Common factors that contribute to this condition include:

Weak Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES): The LES is a muscle that acts as a valve at the lower end of the esophagus. When it weakens, stomach contents can reflux back into the esophagus.
Hiatal Hernia: A weakened diaphragm can allow a portion of the stomach to protrude into the chest cavity, leading to reflux.
Increased Abdominal Pressure: Obesity, pregnancy, or straining during bowel movements can put pressure on the abdomen and force stomach contents upward.
Certain Foods and Beverages: Acids, spicy foods, fatty foods, chocolate, and caffeine can relax the LES and promote reflux.
