I was just diagnosed with a hiatus hernia and I'm a bit worried - can this be managed with meds or will I need surgery? I'm not sure how serious it is and what the best treatment options are
A hiatal hernia is a condition where a part of the stomach pushes up into the chest through an opening in the diaphragm. While many people with hiatal hernias don't experience symptoms and don't need treatment, others may experience symptoms like heartburn or acid reflux that can be managed with lifestyle changes and medications. In some cases, especially with large or symptomatic hernias, surgery may be needed to repair the hernia
