What Is The Treatment For a Hernia?
If its determined that a hernia is causing your reflux disease, your doctor will often prescribe over-the-counter medications initially, such as antacids to bring some relief, if not used long-term or abused. Doctors also prescribe other medications including H2 blocks to reduce acid secretions in the stomach, an acid pump to inhibit an acid-producing enzyme and motility drugs that quicken the emptying of the stomach after eating or drinking. Since these medications cannot eliminate the hernia, they frequently are not long-lasting. If the symptoms continue, often surgery is recommended.
