Hiatal Hernia — Complete Guide for Indian Patients
Hiatal hernia is a common condition in India that is frequently misdiagnosed or confused with regular acidity. Here is a complete guide.
What Is Hiatal Hernia?
The diaphragm is the sheet of muscle separating the chest from the abdomen. The oesophagus passes through an opening in the diaphragm called the hiatus to reach the stomach. A hiatal hernia occurs when part of the stomach slides or pushes up through this opening into the chest.
Types of Hiatal Hernia
Type 1 (Sliding hiatal hernia): Most common (90% of cases). The stomach slides up into the chest when swallowing and slides back down. Usually manageable with medication.

Hiatal Hernia Treatment in India
Medication management: proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole, pantoprazole) control acid symptoms in 80 to 90% of Type 1 hiatal hernias. This is the first line of treatment. Lifestyle changes: avoid large meals, elevate the head of the bed, lose weight, avoid lying down for 2 hours after eating.
Surgery (Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication): recommended when medicines fail, for large para-oesophageal hernias, or for complications. The stomach is pulled back and a new valve is created by wrapping the upper stomach around the oesophagus. Done laparoscopically through 5 small incisions.
