The esophagus (food pipe) and stomach are essential parts of the digestive system, helping transport, digest, and process food. Disorders affecting these organs can cause symptoms such as heartburn, acidity, upper abdominal pain, indigestion, nausea, vomiting, difficulty swallowing, or gastrointestinal bleeding. While many conditions are easily treatable, persistent symptoms should never be ignored, as they may indicate a more serious underlying disease. Dr. Dipankar Das provides comprehensive evaluation and evidence-based treatment for a wide range of esophageal and stomach disorders using advanced diagnostic endoscopy, modern imaging techniques, and personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs.
What is Acid Reflux (GERD)?
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), commonly known as acid reflux, occurs when stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the esophagus. Occasional acidity is common, but frequent or persistent reflux can damage the lining of the esophagus, leading to inflammation, ulcers, narrowing (strictures), Barrett's esophagus, and, rarely, esophageal cancer.
