GERD Diseases Treated by Dr. Haitham Rady
Dr. Haitham Rady, a consultant gastroenterologist and endoscopist and a member of the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, offers comprehensive treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This disease occurs when acid from the stomach repeatedly flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation to the lining of the esophagus.
Common symptoms of GERD include:
- Heartburn.
- Frequent acid reflux.
- Pain in the chest or upper abdomen.
- Difficulty swallowing.
- Persistent cough.
- Inflammation of the vocal cords.
- Worsening of asthma.
How does Dr. Haitham Rady diagnose and treat GERD?
Dr. Haitham Rady draws on his extensive experience in diagnosing and treating GERD using the latest advanced medical techniques and methods.
Diagnosis usually begins with an assessment of symptoms and a physical examination, but to confirm the diagnosis and assess possible complications, Dr. Rady may recommend some specialized tests such as:
Upper endoscopy:
Dr. Haitham uses a small camera at the end of a flexible tube to visually examine the upper digestive tract. This technique helps detect esophageal inflammation or other complications. He may also take tissue samples (biopsy) for examination if necessary.
Portable pH probe test:
The doctor places a monitoring device in the esophagus to measure the extent and duration of acid reflux. The device may be in the form of a flexible tube inserted through the nose or a clip may be placed in the esophagus during the endoscopy.
Upper digestive tract X-ray:
The doctor may request an X-ray after ingesting a chalky liquid that coats the lining of the digestive tract, which helps see the inner lining of the esophagus and stomach, especially for people who have difficulty swallowing.
Esophageal manometry:
This test measures muscle contractions in the esophagus during swallowing, which helps assess the coordination and strength exerted by the esophageal muscles.
Based on the results, Dr. Haitham Rady offers treatment options ranging from:
- Lifestyle modification and medications.
- In rare cases, a surgical procedure such as Nissen gastric stapling or the placement of the Lenex magnetic device may be recommended.
- In cases with large hiatal hernias, laparoscopic hernia repair may be combined with transoral gastric stapling to achieve the best treatment outcomes.
Each case requires a personalized approach based on a comprehensive assessment of symptoms and diagnostic tests, and Dr. Haitham Rady works to provide the optimal treatment to achieve the best results and improve the quality of life of patients.
