Can Reflux Cause Laryngitis? Ukrainian Doctor Explains

Izyaslav, Ukraine - A recent video posted online by Dr. Vasyl Ornat, a gastroenterologist from Izyaslav, has garnered attention for its clear explanation of the link between laryngitis and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Dr. Ornat, using visuals from a recent patient's endoscopy, illustrates how acid reflux can damage the throat's lining, leading to laryngitis. "Laryngitis can definitely be caused by reflux," states Dr. Ornat in the video, "but treatment depends on the condition of the lower esophageal sphincter." He emphasizes that a proper diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. The video highlights the importance of understanding the underlying causes of laryngitis rather than simply treating the symptoms. Dr. Ornat's informative approach has resonated with viewers, highlighting the need for accessible medical information online.
