Best GERD Treatment in Morbi, Gujarat
Are you suffering from acidity, heartburn, or acid reflux?
You may have GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)—a common but often neglected condition that can significantly affect quality of life.
Dr. Vimal Detroja, a leading laparoscopic surgeon in Morbi, provides advanced diagnosis and surgical treatment for GERD, including minimally invasive anti-reflux surgery.
What is GERD (Acid Reflux)?
GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) is a condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (esophagus), causing irritation.
This happens due to weakness of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES)—a valve that normally prevents acid reflux.
In simple terms:
👉 Acid goes up instead of staying in the stomach.
Common Symptoms of GERD
- Burning sensation in chest (Heartburn)
- Acid regurgitation (sour taste in mouth)
- Chest pain
- Difficulty swallowing
- Chronic cough or throat irritation
- Voice changes or hoarseness
Causes of GERD
- Weak LES (valve dysfunction)
- Obesity
- Hiatal hernia
- Spicy or oily food
- Smoking and alcohol
- Late-night eating
Complications of Untreated GERD
Ignoring GERD can lead to:
- Esophagitis (inflammation)
- Ulcers
- Strictures (narrowing of food pipe)
- Barrett’s esophagus (precancerous condition)
Investigations for GERD Diagnosis
Accurate diagnosis is essential before treatment. Common tests include:
1. Upper GI Endoscopy
A camera is used to examine the esophagus and stomach. Helps detect inflammation, ulcers, or hernia.
2. 24-hour pH Monitoring
Measures acid levels in the esophagus over 24 hours—gold standard test for GERD.
3. Esophageal Manometry
Evaluates the function and pressure of the LES and esophagus.
4. Barium Swallow X-ray
Shows reflux, hiatal hernia, or structural abnormalities.
GERD Treatment Options
1. Lifestyle Modifications
- Weight loss
- Avoid spicy and oily food
- Early dinner
- Elevate head during sleep
2. Medications
- Antacids
- Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)
- H2 blockers
GERD Surgery (Permanent Solution)
Laparoscopic Fundoplication Surgery
If GERD is severe or not controlled with medicines, laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery is the best long-term solution.
How it works:
The upper part of the stomach is wrapped around the esophagus to strengthen the valve and prevent acid reflux.
Advantages of GERD Surgery
- Permanent relief from acidity
- No long-term medication dependency
- Minimally invasive (small cuts)
