GERD (Acid Reflux) – Don't Ignore Frequent Heartburn
Occasional acidity is common, but frequent heartburn, acid reflux, or a burning sensation in the chest may be signs of GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease). GERD occurs when stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the food pipe, causing irritation and discomfort.
Common symptoms include heartburn, sour taste in the mouth, chest discomfort after meals, bloating, difficulty swallowing, and chronic cough. If left untreated, long-term GERD may affect quality of life and can lead to complications in some patients.
Simple lifestyle changes such as avoiding heavy meals before bedtime, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting spicy foods, and eating smaller meals may help reduce symptoms. For patients with persistent symptoms, medical evaluation is important to identify the cause and determine the most appropriate treatment.
Advanced laparoscopic and robotic procedures are available for selected patients when medications and lifestyle modifications do not provide adequate relief.
