Suggest Treatment For Hiatal Hernia

Surgery is reserved for severe cases which are very rare.
Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks so much for this query.
I have reviewed this information fully.
1. Surgery for Hiatal hernia is reserved for severe cases that have failed all medical therapy. However, very few persons ever get to require this. Surgery is safe and results are good. For now, I will recommend that your medical therapy should be intensified and complemented with dietary and lifestyle measures to help minimize symptoms of acid reflux and pain. Have you seen a gastroenterologist for proper evaluation?
2. Studies suggest that omeprazole may not be helpful as concerns osteoporosis because it lets to increased bone loss. While this might be true, your severe symptoms of acid reflux certainly make the gains of using this drug more than the possible effects on bone mass loss.
I hope this guides and clarifies your doubts. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
