What are the Risks Associated with an Immature LES?
An immature LES can lead to complications such as:
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Chronic acid reflux can damage the esophagus lining and lead to more serious conditions. - Aspiration: Stomach contents can enter the lungs, causing respiratory issues like pneumonia. - Failure to Thrive: Poor feeding and weight gain may impact overall growth and development.
