Treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in the sanatorium Staraya Russa

Most often, gastroesophageal reflux disease is manifested by heartburn, which occurs 1-1.5 hours after eating, acid belching after eating and a feeling of pain during swallowing. Affecting the respiratory organs, GERD causes a sore throat, cough or even bronchitis.

Treatment of GERD, first of all, requires quitting smoking and strong alcohol, reducing the consumption of coffee, tea, spicy, sour and fatty foods. It is recommended to eat small portions 4-6 times a day, prescribe medication, and in severe cases resort to surgery. One of the most effective methods of combating exacerbations of GERD is sanatorium treatment.

Sanatorium treatment includes regular visits to doctors, special dietary nutrition, a set of necessary procedures.

Treatment results

Consequences of lack of treatment

The consequences of an incurable disease affect the stomach. Erosions and peptic ulcers appear on his mucous membrane. The walls of the esophagus are injured and bleed. The process of swallowing is disrupted, due to the narrowing of the esophageal lumen. A precancerous condition is being formed – Baretta's disease.

ГЭРБ – одно из самых распространенных хронических заболеваний желудочно-кишечного тракта. Недуг возникает из-за заброса содержимого желудка и желчи в пищевод, в результате чего происходит повреждение его слизистой оболочки. Заброс желудочного содержимого может затронуть и другие органы: гортань, трахею и даже бронхи. Иногда ГЭРБ влечет за собой серьезные осложнения, такие как язва пищевода и сужение просвета пищевода, а в некоторых случаях может вызвать рак.
