Dr. Robert Frachtman with Austin Gastro on Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

Dr. Robert Frachtman, a gastroenterologist with Austin Gastro, discusses Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), which can cause a variety of symptoms, such as cough, hoarseness, and wheezing, as well as cause permanent damage to the esophagus. Most concerning is that when these conditions are left untreated, permanent damage can lead to cancer or a condition called Barrett's Esophagus, which is a precancerous condition that can be treated, preventing cancer from occurring in the first place.
