Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

The ultimate solution for chronic heartburn and hiatal hernia

🔥

Occasional heartburn may be normal, but when it becomes chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), it is a medical condition that requires intervention because it can lead to cancerous changes in the lower esophagus (Barrett's esophagus). JOMEDIXWith experience Dr. Safwan Al-KhasawnehWe do not just prescribe painkillers, but we look for the “mechanical defect” in the valve and treat it radically.

Are you experiencing these symptoms?

Reflux is not just a "heartburn"; it can manifest in subtle ways:

  • •
    Heartburn: A burning sensation rising from the stomach to the throat, especially when lying down.
  • •
    Food reflux: Liquids or food return to the mouth with a bitter taste.
  • •
    Symptoms outside the esophagus: Chronic cough, hoarseness, or frequent throat and tooth infections.

The underlying cause: hiatal hernia

In many cases, the cause is weakness in the valve muscle or the presence of a “hernia” that allows the stomach to move up into the chest.

💡

Accurate diagnosis: We use endoscopy and esophageal manometry to confirm the presence and size of the hernia before determining treatment.

To accurately diagnose the size of the hernia and the degree of reflux, we use the latest Japanese endoscopes.

Treatment options with Dr. Safwan

We follow a tiered protocol depending on the severity of the case:

  • 💊 Drug and behavioral therapy:
    Dietary modification and the use of modern proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to control acid and repair the esophagus.
  • ✂️ Surgical solution (gastric hiatal repair surgery):
    In cases of large hernias or failure of medications, we resort to the Nissen Fundoplication procedure using endoscopy to repair the hernia and strengthen the valve. It is a safe procedure that ends the suffering forever.
