There are different acid reflux treatment options available, which depend on the severity of the condition. Your doctor will evaluate your condition and suggest the most suitable treatment:
You may be suffering from GERD, which can be a potentially serious condition. Seek medical advice with Dr Kan to treat your acid reflux today!
Acid reflux happens when acid from your stomach flows back (reflux) into your oesophagus (food pipe). Many people have acid reflux once in a while, but in some cases, it may irritate or damage the lining of the oesophagus.
If you have symptoms of acid reflux more than twice a week, you might have a condition known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This is a more severe and longer-lasting condition in which the symptoms faced are constant or leads to complications over time.
To add, if you suspect that you may have GERD, you should see a specialist like Dr Kan.
In most cases, GERD can be treated easily, but in some, it can lead to serious or even life-threatening health problems.
Gum disease, or other dental problems.
Asthma, chronic cough or others may develop if you breath stomach acid into your lungs.
An inflammation of your oesophagus.
This happens when your oesophagus narrows or tightens.
Involving permanent changes to the lining of your oesophagus.
This affects a small portion of people with Barrett’s oesophagus.
Lower your chances of complications, see your doctor early and discuss your best treatment options.
We understand that every patient is different and that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all treatment option. We therefore have a customised and personalised approach to treating acid reflux, and some of these treatments include:
Prescription medications to help relieve acid reflux.
Avoiding food that induces acid reflux and more!
If medication and lifestyle/diet changes fail to improve your GERD symptoms, then surgery may be the next best option for you.
