Haital hernia surgery
I had acidity issues and doctor suggested endoscopy,it showed I had haital hernia which is the cause of acid reflux. I have been advice d to take ganaton and pantodac for 2 weeks.
I feel better after taking the medicines but reflux and heart burn comes back after few days of stopping the medication.
I want to know is this a life time conditions? Do I have to keep taking these medicines life long or whenever I have acid reflux?
Can the hernia go away on it own?
Is it better to do a surgery instead of taking these medicines frequently?
