Today I will discuss the best Homeopathic Remedy for Hiatus Hernia and medicine that helps you to recover fast!

These account for 98 percent of all diaphragmatic herniae. According to many authorities, all hiatus herniae are acquired. 

     According to others: 

  • (a) The ‘rolling’ type is congenital.
  • (b) A small percentage of the ‘sliding’ type is also congenital, resulting from the congenital short esophagus. 

TYPES : 

There are three types:

  • Sliding or oesophagogastric 
  • Rolling or para-oesophageal
  • Mixed or transitional

CLINICAL FEATURES : 

  • Many cases of hiatus hernia are symptomless,
  • Some cases may occur in children under 10 years. It may even occur in infants soon after birth and they present with effortless vomiting, small in amount, often blood-tinged.
  • In some cases, regurgitation of gastric contents into the esophagus may occur in absence of a sliding hernia. In these cases the hiatus is patulous (normally the hiatus admits the tip of two fingers).

The usual group of patients present with features of reflux oesophagitis – 

  1. Pain. Usually retrosternal. It may radiate to the interscapular region, to either arm or to the neck. The pain occurs more commonly when the patient lies down and does not allow him to sleep. It is relieved on sitting.
  2. Dysphagia.-At first because of edema and spasm, later due to stricture. 
  3. Heartburn is a common symptom.
  • In the long run peptic, oesophagitis and ulceration may lead to oesophageal stenosis resulting in dysphagia and pseudo vomiting.
  • Due to pressure of the gastric pouch, there may be cough, precordial distress, palpitation, anginal pain, hiccough, etc. 
  • Sometimes a large para esophageal hernia may give rise to ST-T changes in ECG due to displacement of the heart.
  • Due to slow bleeding from the oesophageal ulcer, there may be a gradual development of iron deficiency anemia. 
  • When the bleeding is acute it may result in haematemesis and melaena. 
  • The patient may come in a strangulated condition with severe retrosternal pain when the diagnosis is very difficult.

COMPLICATIONS : 

  • Oesophageal ulcer.
  • Stricture of the esophagus.
  • Gastric ulceration. 
  • Strangulation.
  • Perforation.
  • Severe bleeding. 
  • Aspiration pneumonia.
