Understanding Acid Reflux in the Indian Context
GERD affects nearly 25% of urban Indians, driven by spicy foods, late dinners, and stress. Hyderabad’s IT workforce often eats late-night meals and works odd hours, worsening reflux.
Ajuda Hospitals provides structured reflux clinics with diet, diagnostics, and surgical options so patients reclaim sleep and productivity.
When to Consult Our GERD Specialists
⚠️ Seek urgent care if you notice:
- ✓ Chest pain with breathlessness or jaw pain
- ✓ Vomiting blood or black stools
- ✓ Difficulty swallowing solids or liquids
- ✓ Unintentional weight loss with persistent reflux
For chronic heartburn or LPR symptoms, schedule a GERD clinic visit to prevent complications and tailor lifestyle resets.
Our Diagnostic Approach
Symptom Mapping
Detailed history distinguishes GERD from cardiac or ENT causes.
Endoscopic Evaluation
We inspect for erosions, Barrett's, or structural issues and take biopsies when needed.
pH & Manometry Testing
Ambulatory impedance studies quantify acid exposure; manometry studies LES function.
Multidisciplinary Planning
Dietitians, ENT, pulmonology, and bariatrics join to craft holistic plans.
Treatment Pathways
Medication, diet, and sleep hygiene form the foundation. pH-guided adjustments, endoscopic therapies, or lap fundoplication offer durable relief for refractory GERD. Tele follow-ups sustain progress.
What to Expect: Your Care Journey
Week 0 evaluation → Week 2 symptom relief → Week 6 lifestyle ingrained → Month 3 taper/procedure decision → Yearly reviews for Barrett's surveillance if required.
Technology & Innovation
Wearable pH monitors sync with a smart diary to correlate triggers with reflux episodes. Tele consults review data without extra hospital visits.
Preventing Complications
Early control avoids Barrett's oesophagus, dental erosion, chronic cough, and sleep disruption. We emphasise function goals like restful sleep and public speaking confidence.
