Can GERD go away without treatment?

If you are not aware of the term GERD, it's an abbreviation, used for Gastroesophageal reflux disease, whose common term is "acid reflux".

It is frequently caused by acid reflux when stomach acid time and again flows back from the pipe connecting your mouth and stomach.

People suffering from GERD may experience Heartburn, acidity, feeling as if food got stuck in the throat, trouble in swallowing, etc.

Mild GERD can be controlled with home treatment, basically medication like antacid, PPI (proton pump inhibitors), and antidiarrhoeal. But if medications don't control you might have to visit a doctor. Although GERD can't go away without treatment, one with a healthy lifestyle, dietary plans, and weight loss can experience GERD-free life for a long time.

People around the world no doubt suffer from acid reflux all the time, however, research shows GERD has a higher prevalence rate in western countries than that of the Far East. Although countries like Japan, Hongkong, Singapore, and Korea GERD prevalence is rising at an increasing rate. In this article, we are going to talk about GERD treatment in Singapore 'or' How Gastric reflux is treated in Singapore?

Every Hospital has its aim to provide the best services for its patients at affordable costs, but it is better to do your own research before going to one. For Gastric reflux treatment, Singapore or any other country's diagnostics main focus is on the patient's condition how mild or serious s/he is, and to figure out the best way of cutting down the amount of reflux or reducing the damage to the lining of the patient’s esophagus caused by the reflux. Certain tests are performed -  tests such as Gastroscopy, pH Monitoring, etc. to better diagnose a patient's condition.
Two types of Gastrointestinal Surgery are performed

1. LINX reflux management system - The device consists of a series of titanium beads, each with a magnetic core, connected together with titanium wires to form a ring shape.
The LINX device is implanted around the lower oesophageal sphincter to strengthen a weak sphincter. Using this device helps to prevent the contents of the stomach from backing up into the oesophagus (reflux) or the food pipe.

2. Fundoplication - In this surgery, the surgeon will first repair the hiatal hernia, if one is present which involves tightening the opening in your diaphragm with stitches to keep your stomach from bulging upward through the opening in the muscle wall, then s/he will wrap the upper part of your stomach around the end of your esophagus (near food pipe) with stitches.
The stitches create pressure at the end of your oesophagus, which helps prevent stomach acid and food from flowing up from the stomach into the oesophagus.
