Often refers to regurgitation of stomach contents into the oesophagus, or of urine from the urinary bladder back into the ureters.Anomalous retrograde movement of fluid within a bodily passage, potentially stemming from the inadequacy of the passage's exit to close effectively. A prevalent form of reflux is the backflow of acidic fluid from the stomach into the esophagus."}
