What is Hiatal Hernia: Gastroenterology Department about?
A hiatal hernia occurs when part of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. Small hernias often cause no issues, but large hernias can cause heartburn or chest pain as stomach acid backs up into the esophagus. Diagnosis is often via barium X-ray or endoscopy. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes and medications to reduce acid reflux, while very large hernias sometimes require surgery.
