About GERD, Acidity & Peptic Ulcer Treatment
Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) happens when stomach acid flows back into the food pipe, causing heartburn and regurgitation. Gastritis and peptic ulcers are inflammation or sores in the stomach or duodenum, often due to H. pylori infection or painkillers.
Our team identifies the cause and provides medicine, lifestyle guidance and endoscopic evaluation when needed.
