Struggling with Acid Reflux or Heartburn? You May Have GERD. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is more than occasional heartburn — it's a chronic condition where stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation and discomfort. Common symptoms: ✅ Persistent heartburn or chest burning ✅ Regurgitation of food or sour liquid ✅ Difficulty swallowing ✅ Chronic cough or hoarseness ✅ Worsening symptoms at night or after meals Why it matters: Left untreated, GERD can lead to esophagitis, strictures, or Barrett's esophagus — a precursor to esophageal cancer. Modern treatment options: From lifestyle changes and medical therapy to advanced minimally invasive laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery (fundoplication) for patients who don't respond to medication, GERD is highly treatable when diagnosed early. At Dr. Premchandani's GI Surgery Clinic, we offer comprehensive evaluation and both medical and surgical management for GERD and hiatus hernia — tailored to your specific needs. Aug 24, 2026 Call now
