GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), commonly known as acid reflux, is a chronic digestive condition where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation and discomfort. While occasional reflux is common, persistent symptoms can damage the esophageal lining and lead to complications like strictures or Barrett’s esophagus. GERD treatment in Indore focuses on controlling symptoms, healing esophageal damage, and preventing long-term risks. Dr. Kripa Shankar Tiwari offers comprehensive care for GERD through lifestyle guidance, medications, and advanced surgical solutions when needed.
Common symptoms include frequent heartburn, sour taste in the mouth, chest discomfort, regurgitation, difficulty swallowing, chronic cough, and hoarseness. Symptoms may worsen after meals, lying down, or bending over. Risk factors include obesity, smoking, pregnancy, hiatal hernia, and a diet high in fatty or acidic foods.
Dr. Kripa Shankar Tiwari begins with a detailed evaluation using diagnostic tools like endoscopy and pH monitoring. Initial treatment includes lifestyle modifications, dietary advice, weight management, and medications to reduce acid production. For patients who don’t respond to medical therapy or have anatomical issues like a large hiatal hernia, minimally invasive laparoscopic fundoplication surgery is performed to strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter and prevent reflux.
With expertise in both medical and surgical management of GERD, Dr. Kripa Shankar Tiwari ensures precise treatment tailored to each patient’s needs for lasting relief.
