What is GERD?

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disorder where stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the esophagus, irritating the lining. It is a long-term condition that, if left untreated, can lead to complications like esophageal ulcers and even cancer.

Key Points:

Acid Reflux

Stomach acid moving back into the esophagus causes heartburn and discomfort.

Risk Factors

Obesity, smoking, pregnancy, poor diet, and certain medications.

Symptoms & Causes

Common symptoms include persistent heartburn, chest pain, sour taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing. Causes may include obesity, smoking, poor diet, or a weakened lower esophageal sphincter.

 

Treatment Options

Treatment includes lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, medications, and in severe cases, surgical intervention to strengthen the esophagus.
