A hiatal hernia is when a portion of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm's esophageal gap.
Congenital or acquired, intermittent herniation and clinical symptoms are both common with hiatal hernia.

<h3>What is an esophageal hernia?</h3>

When the stomach, the bottom portion of the esophagus, or other organs rise up into the chest, it is known as a paraesophageal hernia.
Organs move from the chest into the belly through the diaphragm's (the muscle dividing the chest and abdomen) hiatus.

<h3>What is the hiatal hernia's pathophysiology?</h3>

The most frequent hiatus hernia is sliding: Above the diaphragm are the gastroesophageal junction and a section of the stomach.
Hiatus hernia of the paraesophagus: The gastroesophageal junction is where it should be, but the diaphragmatic hiatus causes a piece of the stomach to be next to the esophagus.

<h3>What results in a stomach hiatal hernia?</h3>

being born with a larger than typical hiatal aperture, damage to the locality.
alterations to your diaphragm with age.
a buildup of pressure in your abdomen, such as from pregnancy, obesity, coughing, lifting heavy objects, or straining when using the restroom

<h3>What issues are brought on by a hiatus hernia?</h3>

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.
