How to definitively treat gastroesophageal reflux?

Question
Hello doctor,
I have had gastroesophageal reflux disease for about 6 years. Although he has been examined by hospitals and performed endoscopy many times as well as used treatment drugs, his disease has not decreased. Every time I take the medicine, the symptoms of flatulence, reflux, and hot stomach are reduced, but when the medicine is gone, it comes back and is very uncomfortable, greatly affecting my daily life. The doctor asked me how to completely treat gastroesophageal reflux? Please advise doctor, thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “How to definitively treat gastroesophageal reflux? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You have had gastroesophageal reflux disease for 6 years, also went to many places, had multiple endoscopy, took medicine but it did not go away.
Reflux gastritis is a difficult disease to treat, requiring long-term, intermittent treatment and a combination of multiple therapies. Medicine is only part of that process. In young people, there is no underlying disease, gastroscopy has no deformation, hernia, tumor or pyloric stenosis, the vast majority of which are related to H. pylori, stress and diet and activities.
You are not infected with H.Pylori , you need a specialist to manage this disease for you, change each bad habit combined with medicine, everything will be improved.
Some problems can make your disease not stable such as:
Obesity, sitting a lot, sedentary. Or get stressed. Alcohol, tobacco, carbonated water, stimulants. Food that is greasy, difficult to digest, spicy, eats too much, goes to bed or works right after eating, sleeps late, etc. You should see if you have anything to do with the above problems. If you change first, you don't need a colonoscopy anymore, but you do need a follow-up exam and a follow-up doctor to treat you.
Vinmec hospital system has good gastroenterologists who will comprehensively examine and treat you.
