Hello,
With the question “Can gastric valve regurgitation be operated? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease - oesophagitis simply understands that the gastric juice in the stomach will partially go back to the stomach due to many reasons and greatly affect the stomach. Quality of life: Pain, bad breath,.... Your disease may be congenital due to diaphragmatic hernia, (abnormalities related to the gastroesophageal angle).
You should see a gastroenterologist to confirm diagnosis and treatment. If GERD fails medical treatment, surgery will relieve symptoms such as bad breath.
If you still have questions about gastric valve regurgitation, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
