At The London Clinic we offer the latest treatments for heartburn (gastro-oesophageal reflux disease) recovery.
During your visit, one of our highly experienced gastroenterologists will look after you and provide you with the most effective treatment and aftercare.
You may have heartburn because the valve muscle which connects your food pipe (oesophagus) and stomach isn’t working properly, allowing stomach acid to move back into your oesophagus.
This can happen for several reasons:
- Weakening of the valve muscle
- Pressure on the valve from weight gain
- Structural abnormality such as a hiatus hernia
Heartburn is very common and quite straightforward to treat. If left untreated it can lead to scarring or changes in the cells that line the oesophagus, which in a few cases leads to changes such as Barrett’s oesophagus or cancer.
At The London Clinic, we offer a personal service, ensuring you get the right treatment, from diagnosis to aftercare.
From your first consultation right through to follow up, you’ll have a more complete, connected kind of care that is personal and puts you first.
