Knowing When Acid Reflux Becomes Something More
Understanding GERD
GERD occurs when stomach acid repeatedly flows back into your esophagus, causing irritation and damage.
Unlike occasional reflux, GERD symptoms are persistent and often require medical care. Over time, untreated GERD can lead to complications like esophagitis, narrowing of the esophagus, or precancerous changes (Barrett’s esophagus).
