Gastroenterology Specialist FKUI-RSCM, Prof. Dr. dr. Ari Fahrial Syam, SpPD-KGEH, MMB, FINASIM, said that GERD and ulcers are not lifelong diseases so they can be cured. Of course, this is good news, isn’t it for people with GERD and heartburn?
Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and ulcers are two diseases that can be cured. In the healing process, the thing that must be done by the patient is to avoid risk factors and triggers for recurrence. “If we clean the ulcer with germs, we treat it. GERD can also be cured, two months of treatment he recovered, then he had to watch his food,” said Ari in the webinar as quoted from Between on Friday (11/2/2022).
