A chronic digestive disorder where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation and inflammation.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a chronic condition characterized by frequent acid reflux and heartburn, occurring when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus due to lower esophageal sphincter (LES) dysfunction. GERD affects approximately 20-30% of adults in Western countries and is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders. Chronic GERD can lead to complications including erosive esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus, and esophageal adenocarcinoma.
