Disease Explanation

GERD is a chronic condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation and symptoms like heartburn, regurgitation, and discomfort. Peptic ulcers are sores that develop on the lining of the stomach, small intestine, or esophagus. They are often caused by infection with Helicobacter pylori bacteria or long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
