GERD Treatment in Kolkata

Is acid reflux keeping you awake at night?

Do meals leave you with a bitter taste in your mouth or a heavy feeling in your throat?

These aren’t just effects of “too much spicy food.” They could be part of a larger issue like Acid Peptic Disorder (APD), a group of conditions that include GERD and peptic ulcers, both caused by excess acid harming the lining of your stomach or oesophagus.

As a trusted GERD doctor in Kolkata, Dr. (Maj) Ranajoy Dutta brings years of experience and medical expertise to address the root of the problem.

What Are Acid Peptic Disorders?

Acid Peptic Disorders refer to a range of digestive conditions, including:

GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease):

When stomach acid frequently flows back into the oesophagus.

Peptic Ulcers:

Sores in the stomach or duodenal lining (the first part of the small intestine) due to acid erosion.

Gastritis:

Inflammation of the stomach lining, often from infection or medication.

Duodenitis:

Irritation or swelling in the upper small intestine.

Acid Peptic Disorders Treatments

In many cases, symptoms can be managed with simple changes like smaller meals, a better diet, and some medications. But in the case of persistent or severe symptoms, Dr. Ranajoy Dutta might recommend targeted therapies and surgical intervention for complicated GERD or ulcer perforation (a hole in the stomach or intestine caused by an untreated ulcer).

As an eminent GERD surgeon in Kolkata, Dr. Dutta performs minimally invasive anti-reflux procedures such as laparoscopic fundoplication, which helps strengthen the valve between the stomach and oesophagus, offering lasting relief without long-term medication.

If you’re tired of living with your stomach discomfort, consult Dr. (Maj) Ranajoy Dutta and take the first step to lifetime relief.
