Treatment for Acid Peptic Disease | Yashoda Hospitals Hyderabad

Acid Peptic Disease (APD) is a group of conditions marked by an imbalance in acid secretion and gastric mucosal defences. This imbalance can result in peptic ulcer disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and stress-induced mucosal injury. Common causes include Helicobacter pylori infection, long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, and stress. Symptoms may vary but often include burning stomach pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and, in severe cases, blood in the vomit or stools. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of patient history, physical examination, and tests such as endoscopy, which allows direct viewing of the stomach and duodenum, or tests for H. pylori infection, including breath, stool, or blood tests.
Treatment aims to reduce stomach acid, promote healing, and eliminate H. pylori if present. The treatment plan often includes medications such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or H2 receptor blockers, which reduce acid production. If H. pylori infection is detected, a combination of antibiotics and PPIs is used to eradicate the bacteria. In addition to medication, lifestyle changes are crucial and these may include avoiding NSAIDs, reducing alcohol intake, quitting smoking, managing stress, and eating a balanced diet. In severe cases, where complications like bleeding or perforation occur, surgical intervention may be necessary. Regular follow-up is important to monitor healing and prevent recurrence.
