Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a chronic condition that occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing discomfort and various symptoms. At Santosh Medical College Hospital, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of GERD.

GERD often presents with symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain, difficulty swallowing, and chronic cough. If left untreated, it can lead to complications such as esophagitis, strictures, and Barrett's esophagus.

Our experienced medical professionals utilize advanced diagnostic techniques, such as endoscopy and pH monitoring, to accurately diagnose GERD and assess its severity. We develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs.

Treatment options for GERD may include lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, medication management, and, in some cases, surgical interventions. We emphasize the importance of adopting a healthy lifestyle, including weight management, avoiding trigger foods, and elevating the head of the bed while sleeping.

We believe in a multidisciplinary approach and work closely with other specialists, including dietitians and speech therapists, to provide holistic care for our patients. We also educate individuals on managing GERD symptoms and provide ongoing support throughout their treatment journey.

If you are experiencing symptoms of GERD or have concerns about acid reflux, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with our specialists. Trust Santosh Medical College Hospital for expert diagnosis and treatment of GERD, where we combine medical expertise with compassionate care to provide relief and improve the overall well-being of our patients.
