We’re proud to share that our very own Dr Dhan Thiruchelvam recently joined 2GB radio host John Stanley for an insightful conversation on the topic of reflux and how it can be effectively managed.
Reflux – or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD) – is a common condition affecting many Australians, often presenting with heartburn, regurgitation, or chest discomfort. In the interview, Dr Thiruchelvam highlighted the importance of not ignoring persistent symptoms, as untreated reflux can lead to more serious health issues over time.
Drawing on his extensive experience in gastrointestinal and bariatric surgery, Dr Thiruchelvam explained the various management options available – from lifestyle changes and medications to minimally invasive surgical procedures for long-term relief.
His key message to listeners: if you're struggling with ongoing reflux symptoms, it’s worth seeking expert advice. Effective treatment can significantly improve quality of life.
