during the third trimester. Heartburn occur in
pregnancy because the digestive system is working slowly due to changes in
hormone levels you have. Kmalk, the uterus is
pressing bloated abdominal cavity, which leads to a push to the top of the
stomach acid.
These
are some ways in which to reduce the heartburn of pregnancy you have:
•
Eat small meals several times a day instead of three large meals.
•
Eat slowly.

Avoid fatty foods, warm, or any kind of food that seems to have heartburn raises.

the diaphragm requires surgery? I am a man age 55 years
and carry a 15-kilogram weight of almost a plus. In the last period of heartburn occur at a high pace and i
felt the taste of acid in the depths of my throat. The doctor has someone having a hernia of the diaphragm.
Does that require surgery?
A:
Hernia is a pressure member through the hole in the muscular wall of the
cavity, which is protected. In the case of a
hiatal hernia, the part of the stomach pushing through the hole where he meets
the esophagus and stomach.
The
most common cause of hiatal hernia is to increase the pressure on the abdominal
cavity.
Pressure can come from coughing, vomiting, pressure
during defecation, lifting heavy loads, or physical effort. Pregnancy, overweight or accumulation of fluid in the
abdominal cavity can also cause a hiatal hernia.
Hiatal
hernia can occur at any age and in both genders, although it often occurs in
middle age.
In fact, most people over the age of 50, except for the
sound problem, suffer from a small hernias of the diaphragm.
Most
people who suffer from a hiatal hernia do not feel any symptoms. In some people, the acid and digestive juices graduated from
the stomach into the esophagus (reflux).

causes the following problems:
Heartburn
Acidic
or bitter taste in the depths of the throat
Bloating,
belching
Discomfort
or pain in the stomach or esophagus
Vomiting
Most
hernias of the diaphragm does not cause problems and rarely need to treat. For a hiatal hernia successful treatment usually involves the
treatment of reflux symptoms reflux, caused by excess pressure in the abdominal
cavity.
Treatment
includes:
Make
changes in lifestyle, such as:
•
Reduce the weight, if you are suffering from overweight, and maintain a healthy
diet.
•
Maintain a reasonable approach to eating, such as eating small meals even
medium; reduce the intake of fatty foods, acidic foods (such as tomatoes,
citrus fruits and fruit juices), foods that contain caffeine and alcoholic
beverages.
•
Eat meals three to four hours before bedtime, and avoid snacks before bedtime.
•
Raising the position of the head in your bed by 15 centimetres (this helps the
force of gravity to maintain the contents of the stomach).
•
Stop smoking.
•
Avoid tight clothes that put pressure on the abdominal area.
•
Take your medications, such as antacids or h2 blockers or proton pump
inhibitors (ppi).
Beware: if you are you taking drugs without a
prescription, do not you feel better, or you have received this medication for
more than two weeks, they talked with your doctor. It may prescribe stronger medication.
If
medications and lifestyle change is effective in treating the symptoms with

requires surgical intervention to correct the problem or symptoms by using
these methods
.
People
who suffer from a hiatal hernia, also from chronic and severe reflux may not
need surgery to correct the problem if you have an improvement in symptoms by
these treatments did not happen. Surgery may also
be required to reduce the size of the hernia if there is a risk in tadhagah or
strangled (by cutting him blood supply). During surgery,
the islands are corrected by returning a hiatal hernia into the abdomen, and
the creation of a mechanism mohsen valve at the bottom of the esophagus.
The surgeon wraps the upper part of the stomach (called
fundus) around the lower part of the esophagus. This
is a narrower corridor so that food can not rebound to the inside of the
esophagus.
Surgery
diaphragm can be implemented either by opening the abdominal cavity or by
laparoscopy laparoscopy. During laparoscopic surgery,
the incision five or six small incisions (5-10 mm long) in the abdomen. Laparoscopy and surgical instruments are inserted through
these incisions. The surgeon uses lens abdomen
guidance, where it is broadcast images of internal organs on the screen.
Features endoscope surgery include smaller incisions,
less risk for contamination, and less scar pain, heal faster.
