Menopause, estrogen, and GERD: an exploration of symptoms and endoscopic correlations
The study concludes that reduced estrogen levels in postmenopausal women are linked to a higher prevalence of GERD symptoms, including heartburn and dysphagia, compared to premenopausal women. Endoscopic findings further support the correlation between hormonal changes and GERD severity, highlighting the necessity for careful evaluation of GERD risk factors.
