Too much burping problem

Dear Patient: Hello,burping for so many times is mainly because of not consuming food in regular timings or skipping meals and having a lot at once . So , if you are doing any of the above mentioned things avoid doing them. If you suffer with any hormonal problems also like diabetes , hypothyroidism, then also you will suffer with these symptoms , so make sure that you are not suffering with any of those by checking out your fasting blood sugar levels and T3,t4,TSH levels . You have to stop them from happening because continuous burpings for years is a risk factor for oesophageal cancer . Yes endoscopy helps you to rule out cardiac junctional abnormalities ,hiatus hernia which will also cause burpings . It also helps to find out if there are any existing ulcers ,metaplasia because of all the previous burpings you had . There are surgical and medical treatments for this , which will be suggested by your general surgeon after checking your endoscopy reports . Take care .
