its called hiatal hernia or hiatus hernia.
A protrusion of a part of the stomach through the esophageal opening in the diaphragm is known as a hiatal hernia. This condition can cause symptoms such as heartburn, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing. Treatment options range from lifestyle changes to surgery, depending on the severity of the hernia.
The opening where the esophagus passes through the diaphragm is called the esophageal hiatus or esophageal opening in the diaphragm.

The medical term for the protrusion of the ureter is "ureterocele." A ureterocele occurs when the ureter bulges at its opening into the bladder, creating a cystic structure that can obstruct urine flow and potentially lead to urinary tract complications. This condition can be congenital or acquired and may require surgical intervention depending on its severity.
A hernia is the protrusion of an organ or tissue through an abnormal opening in the abdominal wall. It can cause pain, swelling, and a visible bulge in the affected area. Surgery may be required to repair a hernia and prevent complications.
Achalasia is a condition where the lower esophageal sphincter doesn't relax properly, preventing food from entering the stomach. This leads to difficulty swallowing, chest pain, and regurgitation of food. Treatment may involve medications, dilation of the esophagus, or surgery.
Foraminal encroachment refers to that degeneration in the spinal column which causes the obstruction of the foramina.
There are two openings in the stomach. The first opening is the esophageal sphincter, and the second is the Pyloric sphincter.
By far the most common hernias (up to 75% of all abdominal hernias) are the so-called inguinal hernias. Much insight is needed in the anatomy of the inguinal canal. A hernia is protrusion of an organ or the muscular wall of an organ through the cavity that normally contains it. A hiatal hernia occurs when the stomach protrudes upwards into the mediastinum through the esophageal opening in the diaphragm.
