The treatment of reflux should be tailored to every patient individually. Everyone’s symptoms are different, and their impact will different. For instance, occasional hoarseness for most people may be no more than irritating but for a singer professionally destructive. Perhaps too frequently doctors underestimate the impact that reflux can have on their patients’ wellbeing. Individuals wishes regarding long-term medication or willingness to consider surgery also differ and so there really is no one size fits all.
Ultimately GERD is caused by failure of the Lower Oesophageal Valve (LOS) to control reflux from the stomach into the oesophagus. All treatments aim to either reduce the factors that cause its failure (lifestyle changes and diet), reduce the effects of failure (medications) or repairing the valve itself (endoscopic or laparoscopic surgery).
