Hiatus hernia is the condition that occurs when a part of the stomach pushes up to the diaphragm muscle. It might be difficult to assess as there are no common symptoms shown. There might heartburn and abdominal discomfort. This condition could be treated through medication. Surgery is called for in extreme cases.
Prolapse of the stomach through the diaphragmatic oesophagal hiatus due to an increase in the sphincter pressure causes a hiatus hernia. The lower oesophageal sphincter is a smooth muscle that is about 2 to 4.5 cm in length. The upper portion of the sphincter is in the diaphragmatic hiatus and the lower portion is located intra-abdominally. Sudden intra-abdominal pressure causes an increase in the pressure of the sphincter. Even as the gastroesophageal junction creates a barrier for prevention of reflux of the contents (which is inclusive of the LES baseline pressure) the reflux barrier is compromised and acid clearance is not accomplished due to malfunction of the LES.
