Bar-bar heartburn? Shayad sirf acidity se zyada ho sakta hai
Agar aapko frequently heartburn hota hai, toh ise halka meena mat lo. Doctors kehte hain kabhi-kabhi yeh esophageal cancer ka sign bhi ho sakta hai — aur U.S. me iske cases badh rahe hain.
American Cancer Society ke mutabiq, 2025 me kareeb 22,070 naye case aur takriban 16,250 deaths esophageal cancer se jude hone ka andaza hai. Yeh bhaut important number hai — symptoms ko nazarandaaz mat kariye.
Esophageal cancer kya hai?
Esophagus wo tube hai jo gala ko pet se jodta hai. Isme do common type hote hain:
- Adenocarcinoma — glandular cells se shuru hota hai.
- Squamous cell carcinoma — esophagus ki squamous lining me banta hai.
Doctor kya keh rahe hain?
Gastroenterologist Dr. Joseph Salhab ne bataya ki esophageal adenocarcinoma sabse zyada tezi se badh raha hai — aur iska strong link GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) se hai, jise hum aam taur par acid reflux bolte hain.
Ek badi baat: Dr. Salhab ke viral post (1.2M+ views, 5K+ likes) me NCI data dikhaya gaya ki 2012 se 2019 ke beech, 45–64 saal ke logon me esophageal cancer ka rate do-guna ho gaya.
Kin symptoms par dhyan dein
Har heartburn cancer nahi hota — lekin agar aapko in me se koi cheez dikhai de to doctor se check karwaiye:
- Antacid se relief na milna ya heartburn ka badhna
- Khana nigalne me dikkat ya khana atak jaana
- Bina wajah weight loss ya bhook kam hona
- Chest pain jo heart jaise nahin lagta
- Awaz kharab rehna ya lambi khansi
Kya karein abhi?
Agar weekly ya usse zyada heartburn ho raha hai, ya upar wali problems ho rahi hain, toh apne GP se baat karein. GERD ka sahi management (lifestyle, davai ya tests) aage chal ke risk kam kar sakta hai.
- Khaane ke turant baad letna avoid karein.
- Teekha, caffeine aur late heavy meals kam karein.
- Doctor se GERD evaluation ke baare me baat karein — agar zarurat ho toh gastroenterologist ka referral lein.
