GERD / Acidity Treatment in Bathinda

Effective GERD Treatment by Stomach Specialist in Bathinda

GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) is a chronic digestive condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation and discomfort. If you are suffering from persistent acidity and heartburn, Dr. Raman Garg offers the best GERD treatment in Bathinda with lasting relief.

Many people ignore chronic acidity, but untreated GERD can lead to serious complications like esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus, and even esophageal cancer. At Bombay Gastro & Cancer Institute, we provide comprehensive diagnosis and personalized treatment plans for GERD patients.

Symptoms of GERD / Acid Reflux

  • Burning sensation in chest (heartburn)
  • Sour or bitter taste in mouth
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Regurgitation of food or sour liquid
  • Chronic cough or sore throat
  • Feeling of lump in throat
  • Disrupted sleep due to chest discomfort
  • Worsening symptoms after meals or when lying down

Causes of GERD and Chronic Acidity

GERD occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) weakens or relaxes abnormally. Common causes include obesity, hiatal hernia, pregnancy, smoking, certain medications, and consuming trigger foods like spicy, fatty, or acidic foods.

In India, dietary habits including excessive consumption of spicy and oily foods, irregular meal timings, and stress contribute significantly to GERD prevalence.
