How Healthy Is Your Gut?
While GERD is common, it’s far from the only thing that can throw your digestive system off track. Colon cancer, the third most common cancer in the U.S., can sneak up quietly. With screenings, though, doctors can find and even cure it in its early stages. Take our quick assessment to find out when you should start screening.
INFO THAT HITS WHERE IT HURTS
IF YOUR MEAL COMES WITH A SIDE OF REGRET, IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE
Many people experience symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux, including:
- A burning sensation in your chest, usually after eating and at night or when lying down
- Regurgitation of food or sour liquid
- Sensation of a lump in your throat
- Trouble swallowing
- Upper abdominal or chest pain
While you may find temporary relief with a combination of lifestyle changes and medication, our specialists at Texas Health Mansfield have more advanced treatments that may help you experience long-term relief. If you have frequent acid reflux, shortness of breath or chest pain, it could be a sign of something more serious. We’re here to care for you with a variety of advanced diagnostic services and surgical options to help you live more comfortably.
LET’S GET TO THE BOTTOM OF WHAT’S COMING UP
If you’re experiencing symptoms such as heartburn more than twice a week, you may have GERD. To get an accurate diagnosis, a gastroenterologist will first ask about your symptoms and your medical history. The provider will also perform a thorough physical examination.
To confirm a GERD diagnosis or check for complications, the provider might also recommend a diagnostic test, such as an esophageal pH test or an endoscopic procedure. We offer a wide range of diagnostic tools to get the answers you need.
It’s important to treat GERD before symptoms worsen and damage your esophagus. At Texas Health Mansfield, we offer a full range of treatment options, from lifestyle changes and medications to laparoscopic procedures. Surgical procedures focus on strengthening the muscle between the stomach and the esophagus to prevent reflux.
As part of our commitment to offering comprehensive, exceptional care, we stay up to date on the latest and most innovative procedures. Transoral incisionless fundoplication, or TIF, is an example of the latest care for GERD. Accessing the esophagus through the mouth, rather than through incisions, it can be performed on its own or in combination with repair for a hiatal hernia, a procedure known as cTIF.
HELPING YOU NAVIGATE HEARTBURN WITHOUT THE HEARTACHE
Searching for much-needed relief for heartburn and acid reflux symptoms can be overwhelming. We understand, which is why we offer a team of nurse navigators to walk alongside you through your entire care experience.
Solely focused on helping you, these compassionate professionals can answer any questions you have about your condition or accessing care, help you schedule appointments, and follow up in the months after a surgical procedure. Whatever you need, they’re here to help.
