In clinical work, many patients worryingly ask: Doctor, is my disease very serious? Will it become cancerous? Can it be cured? It is understandable to worry about your condition, and all of us, including doctors, are eager to have a healthy body; however, it is important to follow science and objective facts, and excessive worry, fear, and even anxiety are not conducive to disease recovery. GERD is not scary or serious, and it can be controlled with regular treatment, improving diet and lifestyle, and maintaining a good mood. Patients should firmly believe that having a healthy mindset and facing it properly is a recipe for overcoming the disease.
