About Hiatal Hernia Treatment
Experiencing persistent heartburn, acid reflux, or a feeling of pressure in your upper abdomen? You might be dealing with a hiatal hernia—a condition where part of the stomach pushes up through the diaphragm into the chest. Left untreated, it can worsen gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and affect your quality of life.
At Paras Hospital, Srinagar, we provide comprehensive hiatal hernia treatment, including accurate diagnosis, lifestyle and dietary counseling, and laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair surgery for long-lasting relief from symptoms.

What is a Hiatal Hernia?
A hiatal hernia occurs when the upper part of the stomach bulges through the diaphragm (the muscle separating your chest and abdomen) into the chest cavity via the esophageal hiatus. It often leads to reflux symptoms and digestive issues.
Common Symptoms of Hiatal Hernia Include:
-
Burning chest pain or heartburn
-
Acid reflux or regurgitation of food
-
Difficulty swallowing or a lump-in-throat sensation
-
Bloating or burping after meals
-
Chest pain (especially after eating or lying down)
-
Shortness of breath or fatigue
-
Persistent cough or hoarseness (due to GERD)
Hiatal Hernia Treatment Options at Paras Hospital
At Paras Hospital, we offer both non-surgical and surgical treatment options for hiatal hernia based on the size of the hernia, severity of symptoms, and response to medications.
Diagnosis & Evaluation
Our gastroenterology team conducts thorough evaluations using:
-
Endoscopy
-
Upper GI barium studies
-
Esophageal manometry
-
pH monitoring to assess acid reflux severity
Non-Surgical Management
For small hernias or mild symptoms, we begin with:
-
Medications (PPIs or antacids) to reduce acid
-
Lifestyle changes: weight loss, head elevation while sleeping
-
Dietary changes: avoiding spicy or acidic foods
-
Hiatal hernia-specific meal planning and eating habits
Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Surgery
When medications fail or hernia is large, we offer:
-
Minimally invasive hiatal hernia repair
-
Fundoplication (wrapping part of the stomach around the esophagus to prevent reflux)
-
Reconstruction of the diaphragmatic opening
This ensures long-term relief from GERD symptoms and restores anatomical function.
