Problem: Provide a brief explanation of the health challenge. (100 words) Explanation of GORD
GORD is a digestive disorder where stomach acid or bile flows back into the oesophagus, irritating its lining. This backflow occurs because the lower oesophageal sphincter (LES), which acts as a barrier between the stomach and oesophagus, weakens or relaxes abnormally. Symptoms of GORD include heartburn, regurgitation, and sometimes difficulty swallowing. Need Online Assistance?
