stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus, causing irritation and discomfort. When this happens frequently, it is classified as Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease (GORD), a more severe form of reflux. The lower oesophageal sphincter (LOS) is a crucial muscle that acts as a barrier to prevent acid from moving upwards. When the LOS is weakened or relaxes inappropriately, it can lead to the symptoms associated with acid reflux and GORD. Understanding these conditions is essential for effective management and treatment.<\/p>\n

GORD is typically diagnosed through a combination of symptom assessment, endoscopy, and pH monitoring to evaluate acid levels in the oesophagus.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What are the potential complications of untreated GORD?” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”550abe5c-b505-4d6b-adc7-570bd7cc1217″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Untreated GORD can lead to esophagitis, Barrett’s oesophagus, and an increased risk of oesophageal cancer.<\/p>\n

Barrett\u2019s Oesophagus is a condition where the tissue lining the oesophagus changes due to prolonged exposure to stomach acid, often as a result of chronic acid reflux. This transformation can increase the risk of developing oesophageal cancer, making regular surveillance crucial. Early detection through routine gastroscopy can help manage and mitigate potential complications, ensuring timely intervention and peace of mind.<\/p>\n
