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.

Liono4ka [1.6K]
Since the liver is the primary organ for metabolism, then in the setting of liver injury there will be reduced metabolism of compounds such as hormones. If these hormones are not metabolized and degraded in the liver, then these hormone levels will increase.

<em>A particular example is that the hormone estrogen is increased in the setting of liver damage, causing males with liver failure to have feminine characteristics.</em>
