The condition is called Hiatal Hernia.

Hiatal Hernia:

  • When stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, a hiatal hernia results. This occurs as the stomach forces gastric acids through an opening known as the "esophageal hiatus" and into the esophagus. It is frequently seen in persons in their 60s.
  • Weakened muscle tissue that permits your stomach to protrude through your diaphragm results in a hiatal hernia. It's not always clear why this happens. However, the diaphragm alterations brought on by aging could also result in a hiatal hernia. Injury to the area, for instance, following a surgery or a trauma.
  • Hiatus hernia problems are uncommon, but long-term oesophageal damage from stomach acid leakage can result in ulcers, scarring, and alterations to the oesophageal cells, raising your chance of oesophageal cancer.

Answer:

Stop habitat destruction

Explanation:

Cutting down and burning forests basically take away the shelter, hunting grounds, and overall habitat away from many species that use the trees as a form of shelter and protection. Removing their shelter, which could be their only form of protection causes many of these organisms to die, not to mention the plants that are necessary to keep the food chain balanced.
