Kim Kardashian has undergone surgery to have irregularities removed from her esophagus, she revealed on her family’s show, « The Kardashians. »
In Thursday’s episode, the 46-year-old reality star said she had been feeling a bit sluggish, but first assumed it was just because she’d been busy.
« I’ve been feeling a little off lately. My throat is like killing me today, » she said in a confessional.

Early in the episode, a doctor told her that she appeared to have inflammation of the esophagus, and noted that she could have esophagitis.
She admitted in a confessional, « So, I’ve seen a couple of doctors, and it’s been heavy on my mind lately. »
The doctor suggested taking a round of medicine, then coming in for a procedure so he could get a better look at what was wrong and then determine if they needed to take further action.

« I haven’t really told too many people about this just because I think it’s, you know, something that really hits home for me, and I just don’t really want to go there with my dad having passed away from esophagus cancer, » she admitted to the camera. « Hopefully I can just take medication, and this will go away, but I just don’t know what’s going to happen. »
