What is ulseration of lower gullet?

Ulceration of the lower gullet, or esophagus, refers to the formation of sores or ulcers in the lining of the lower part of the esophagus. This condition can be caused by factors such as acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), infections, or prolonged use of certain medications. Symptoms may include pain during swallowing, heartburn, and difficulty swallowing. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause, such as medication to reduce stomach acid, and lifestyle modifications.
