In our difficult times, people are exposed to negative effects of harmful substances and stressful situations. All this then provokes the development of a disease such as candidal esophagitis. In this disease, fungal infection affects the esophagus and digestive system.
This form of the disease affects the esophagus and is divided into several types:
- Acute - characterized by a fairly rapid appearance of symptoms and a sharp increase in temperature. The most frequent acute candidiasis esophagitis occurs as a secondary disease in other gastric ailments. And a fungal lesion of 1 degree occurs in the lower part of the esophagus.
- Chronic - is a consequence of a previous form that has not been treated.
Often fungal esophagitis has a necrotic form of the disease with the formation of deep ulcers.
Causes and symptoms of Candidiasis esophagitis 1 degree
Prerequisites for the formation of candidal esophagitis can be various factors. Specialists explain the high degree of affliction due to a favorable environment for living and reproduction of fungi.
The main cause of the development of the disease is the pathology of the intestinal microflora, triggered by the use of antibacterial medicines. Moreover, an incorrect way of life and a stressful situation become clear prerequisites.
The main symptoms of candidal esophagitis are:
- Temperature rise unaccompanied by parallel diseases;
- Difficulty in swallowing food and saliva accompanying the disease. In addition, pain in the oral cavity may occur;
- The appearance of heartburn and nausea.
Is fungal esophagitis dangerous?
Candid esophagitis, the treatment of which should be carried out as closely as possible, does not pose a danger to humans, but it causes a lot of trouble. With a severe form of the disease, the esophagus is shortened by scars, so there is a risk of an increase in the axial hernia located in the esophageal aperture of the diaphragm. In the case of fungal inflammation, deposits of a white and yellow shade form on the walls of the esophagus.
Treatment of candidiasis esophagitis
Inflammation of the esophagus is such a disease, the symptoms of which can be removed with the help of traditional medicine. However, only pharmaceutical preparations are able to completely rid the patient of this form of the disease. It is very important to understand that independent treatment can provoke the emergence of complications, so all actions are taken only with the permission of the doctor. The main course of therapy is usually ten days.
Therapy of candidal esophagitis is based on the use of antifungal medicines, the principle of which is based on stopping the development of the cell walls of the fungus, which makes them vulnerable to the influence of the external environment. As a rule, antifungal drugs are divided into three types: antimycotics, polyene and azole, as well as echinocandins.
The main goal of treatment of candidal esophagitis is to eliminate symptoms. If you do not, they can re-occur. In this case, local therapy in the case of such a disease does not give the desired effect.
