GERD

GERD, or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, occurs when stomach acid flows into the esophagus, causing irritation and symptoms like regurgitation and heartburn. Lifestyle changes, medications like Nexium (Esomeprazole), and surgical options are utilized for treatment. Nexium, a proton pump inhibitor, reduces stomach acid production, relieving symptoms and aiding in tissue recovery. Adverse effects should be considered under doctor’s guidance.
