Are you suffering from GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) and looking for a minimally invasive solution? Dr. Digant Pathak, Jabalpur’s leading laparoscopic and gastro surgeon, offers expert GERD surgery to provide you with a safe, effective, and quick recovery.
GERD is a long-term condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus. Common symptoms include heartburn, acid reflux, and regurgitation. Not treating GERD can lead to serious complications like esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus, and esophageal cancer if untreated.
Weak LES: A weak lower esophageal sphincter (LES) that doesn't close properly.
Obesity: Excess weight can increase pressure on the abdomen, pushing stomach contents into the esophagus.
Hiatal Hernia: A condition where the upper part of the stomach bulges through the diaphragm.
Diet and Lifestyle: Certain foods, smoking, and alcohol can exacerbate GERD symptoms.

How Can GERD Be Harmful?
Understanding the harms of GERD can help in identifying and treating it effectively:
Esophagitis: Inflammation of the esophagus, causing pain and bleeding.
Strictures: Narrowing of the esophagus due to scar tissue, leading to swallowing difficulties.
Barrett's Esophagus: Pre-cancerous changes in the esophagus lining.
Esophageal Cancer: Long-term untreated GERD increases the risk of esophageal cancer.
