Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a chronic condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the oesophagus, causing irritation. Common symptoms of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease include heartburn and regurgitation. Long-term Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease may lead to complications such as erosive oesophagitis or Barrett's oesophagus. Diagnosis and treatment are essential for managing Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.
