I've been dealing with GERD and a left-sided hernia near my navel for about a year now, and it's really affecting my daily life. I'm considering surgery for both issues what are my options to get back to living normally?

For your GERD and left-sided umbilical hernia, surgery is a viable option to alleviate symptoms and improve your quality of life. Surgical options for GERD include Nissen fundoplication, which strengthens the lower esophageal sphincter, and for the umbilical hernia, open or laparoscopic repair with mesh or sutures. Lifestyle adjustments like dietary changes and avoiding trigger foods can also help manage both conditions, especially GERD

I've been diagnosed with a small hiatal hernia and lax LES through endoscopy, and my symptoms include GERD, throat and heartburn, mouth ulcers, and upper abdomen burning. I've tried so many PPI meds but they make me tired, and if I skip them even for two days, the burning, sour burps, and sleepless nights get unbearable. My doctor says the main issue is my lax LES and that I'll need lifelong meds or surgery, but I'm exhausted from taking PPIs for two years and surgery success rates don't seem great. I'm feeling hopeless sometimes the acid attacks and pain are so bad I can't cope. Can homeopathy actually help fix a lax LES or make GERD go away? I already eat clean homemade food with coriander and cumin, no spicy or oily stuff, plus fruits and curd and do yoga daily, but nothing's working. I don't want false hope just honest advice on whether this can improve.
While homeopathy may offer some symptomatic relief for GERD and related issues, it's unlikely to cure a lax LES or hiatal hernia. Homeopathy is a holistic approach that focuses on individual symptoms and constitution, but it lacks robust scientific evidence for treating structural issues like a lax LES.
