A member asked:
A doctor diagnosed me with hiatal hernia which causes my acid reflux. what treatment do u think is best, long term ppi or fundoplication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Best treatment: The best long term treatment for you is to change your lifestyle. Eat healthy and exercise regularly the surgery is not the best and the ppi were never meant to be used long term. The best help is to change to a healthy lifestyle
