A gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive condition where stomach acid or contents flow back into the esophagus, leading to symptoms such as heartburn and regurgitation. GERD is prevalent globally, affecting about 15.6%–30% of the population in India, with its incidence rising, particularly in urban areas. Contributing factors include dietary habits like overconsumption of specific foods, lifestyle choices such as stress and irregular eating patterns, and physical factors like obesity and Hiatus hernias.
