Dr. Shamim Alig, a seasoned gastroenterologist with 15 years of expertise, offers comprehensive treatment for acidity at his clinic situated at Shop No. 3, Asalpha Metro Station, Asalpha, Ghatkopar (west), Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. Acidity, also known as acid reflux or heartburn, is a common digestive disorder characterized by a burning sensation in the chest or throat, sour taste in the mouth, bloating, and regurgitation of stomach acid.

At Dr. Shamim Alig's clinic, patients undergo a thorough evaluation to identify the underlying causes of acidity. This may involve a detailed medical history review, physical examination, and diagnostic tests such as upper endoscopy or pH monitoring to assess the severity of acid reflux and rule out other gastrointestinal conditions.

Treatment plans are personalized to address the specific needs of each patient. Initial management typically includes lifestyle modifications such as dietary changes, avoiding trigger foods, maintaining a healthy weight, and elevating the head of the bed to reduce nighttime symptoms. Over-the-counter antacids or prescription medications may be recommended to neutralize stomach acid or reduce its production.

In addition to medication, Dr. Alig may suggest other therapeutic approaches such as dietary supplements, herbal remedies, or behavioral modifications to alleviate acidity symptoms and promote overall digestive health. For individuals with severe or persistent acidity, Dr. Alig may recommend advanced procedures or surgical interventions to address underlying issues such as hiatal hernia or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

With a compassionate approach and a focus on patient education, Dr. Shamim Alig empowers individuals to manage their acidity effectively and improve their quality of life. By addressing the root causes of acidity and providing personalized treatment plans, Dr. Alig ensures that each patient receives the best possible care for their digestive concerns.
