Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common condition that affects many individuals, characterized by frequent acid reflux that can lead to discomfort and potential health complications. At Lalezari Surgical in Los Angeles, we specialize in comprehensive treatments for GERD, utilizing advanced diagnostic tools and surgical techniques to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
Understanding GERD and Its Symptoms
GERD occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the tube connecting your mouth and stomach (the esophagus). This backwash (reflux) can irritate the lining of your esophagus and cause a range of symptoms, including:
- Persistent Heartburn
A burning sensation in the chest that often occurs after eating and may worsen at night.
- Regurgitation
A sour or bitter taste, or the sensation of acid backing up into your throat or mouth.
- Difficulty Swallowing
The feeling that food is stuck behind your breastbone.
- Coughing or Wheezing
These symptoms can occur when reflux gets into the respiratory tract.
- Chest Pain
When severe, can mimic the pain of a heart attack.
Comprehensive GERD Treatment Options at Lalezari Surgical
At Lalezari Surgical, we offer a variety of treatment options tailored to the severity of each patient’s GERD and their overall health profile. These include:
- Medication Management
Over-the-counter antacids, H2 blockers, or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to reduce stomach acid and relieve symptoms.
- Lifestyle Modifications
Dietary changes, weight management, and modifications to eating habits can significantly impact the severity of GERD symptoms.
- Advanced Surgical Options
For patients who do not respond to medication or lifestyle changes, surgery may be necessary. We specialize in minimally invasive surgical options such as Nissen Fundoplication and the LINX procedure, which are designed to enhance the barrier function of the esophagus and prevent reflux.
