About GE Reflux Study

A GE Reflux Study, also known as Esophageal pH Monitoring or 24-Hour pH Study, is a specialized diagnostic procedure performed by a gastroenterologist to accurately measure and quantify gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This test involves placing a thin, flexible catheter through the nose and into the esophagus to record acid levels over a 24-hour period. It is the gold standard for diagnosing pathological acid reflux, helping to distinguish GERD from other conditions with similar symptoms like heartburn, chest pain, or chronic cough. The data collected provides objective evidence of acid exposure, guiding effective treatment plans, including medication management or surgical interventions like fundoplication, for long-term relief.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three other doctors...

I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Latha at MGM was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything I was saying. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something quite rare. She explained it all to me in plain Tamil, drew diagrams on a notepad. I was scared, but she laid out a clear plan. It's been a long road, but I finally feel like we're getting somewhere.
