Is LINX surgery available in India and how does it compare to other treatments for faster recovery? I've heard it can be removed if complications arise but I'm not sure about success rates or where to find good specialists for this procedure
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, LINX surgery is available in India, according to Dr. Jasmeet Singh Ahluwalia and other surgeons like Dr. Tulip Obese. It's a minimally invasive procedure to treat GERD, offering potential for faster recovery compared to more extensive surgeries like Nissen fundoplication, says VIP Surg and endoscopic treatments, according to www.atulpeters.com and IndiCure Health Tours. The LINX device can be removed if complications arise, but success rates and long-term outcomes are generally good.

I'm experiencing this mild pain around my ribs on both sides, and it's been bothering me whenever I move. I got a chest X-ray, but the results seemed unclear since it was just black and white. I also struggle a lot with acidity and gastric issues, and there's this burning sensation in the middle of my chest. Plus, the pain seems to extend to my right shoulder, coming from the chest area. I'm a bit worried and not sure what's going on. Could you advise on what might be causing these symptoms and which type of doctor I should see to get this figured out?
X-Rays radiographs are black and white itself. Do not expect colors in that. As of now, take a tab. Rantac 150mg twice a day half an hour before food for 10 days. If it still persists, consult a MD consultant physician in person for further evaluation and management.

I'm experiencing quite a bit of pain when I pass stool and even when I'm sitting. It feels like it might be related to piles or possibly a fissure. On top of that, I have a lot of issues with gas. Could all these symptoms be connected, and what should I do to feel better?
It must be A Fissure. You can try conservative treatment for some time. If not relieved, surgery will be required. See that you do not have constipation. Stools should be soft. You can take Cremaffin Pink at night after dinner for that. Before passing stools & after that apply Anovate ointment around the fissure.
