Specialised Reflux and Functional Treatments focus on managing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and related functional digestive disorders without long-term dependence on medications. Many patients with chronic reflux rely on daily acid-suppressing drugs, which may provide temporary relief but often fail to address the underlying cause. Under the expert care of Dr. Ramesh Reddy Avula, Consultant Gastroenterologist & Hepatologist, our approach focuses on treating the root problem, improving quality of life, and reducing or eliminating the need for lifelong medication.
A key offering in this category is ARMA (Advanced Reflux Management without Pills). ARMA is an innovative, minimally invasive endoscopic procedure recommended for patients with persistent reflux symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, chest discomfort, throat irritation, and chronic cough.
Dr. Ramesh Reddy Avula performs this advanced technique to strengthen the natural anti-reflux barrier at the junction of the esophagus and stomach, effectively preventing acid backflow.
The ARMA procedure is performed endoscopically, without surgical cuts, stitches, or scars. It is typically a short procedure with minimal hospital stay and quick recovery. Patients experience less pain, reduced risk of complications, and can return to normal activities sooner compared to conventional surgical treatments. Most importantly, ARMA significantly reduces dependence on long-term acid-suppressing medications.
In addition to ARMA, Dr. Ramesh Reddy Avula emphasizes detailed evaluation of reflux and functional disorders using advanced diagnostic tools such as endoscopy and manometry studies. This ensures precise diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient’s condition.
Our specialised reflux and functional treatment program combines clinical expertise, advanced endoscopic technology, and compassionate care. With a focus on long-lasting relief and improved digestive health, Dr. Ramesh Reddy Avula, Consultant Gastroenterologist & Hepatologist, helps patients regain comfort, confidence, and a better quality of life—without the burden of lifelong medication.
