Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is common — and in most cases, it’s manageable with the right treatment and lifestyle changes.

However, when chronic GORD goes undiagnosed or untreated, it can lead to more serious complications, including:

✔️ Oesophagitis: Inflammation of the oesophagus, causing pain and difficulty swallowing.
✔️ Oesophageal ulcers: Acid damage leading to painful sores that can bleed.
✔️ Oesophageal stricture: Scar tissue narrowing the oesophagus, making swallowing difficult.
✔️ Barrett’s oesophagus: Long-term acid exposure changing the cells lining the oesophagus.
✔️ Oesophageal cancer: In rare cases, chronic damage can progress to cancer.

If you experience ongoing reflux symptoms, it’s important to seek medical advice and assessment to prevent complications and protect your long-term health.

Bowel cancer affects over 14,200 Australians every year, with more than 4,000 deaths annually, making it the second leading cause of cancer-related death. Alarmingly, more young adults under 50 are now being diagnosed, highlighting the importance of awareness and early detection.

By age 50, the average Australian has a 1 in 100 chance of developing bowel cancer in the following 10 years — and by 60, the risk is 1 in 100 in the next 5 years. Those with a family history of bowel cancer face an even higher risk.

Regular screening is key. Individuals should start home screening with a faecal occult blood test (FOBT) at least once every two years from age 50.

Early detection saves lives.

Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is common in pregnancy, affecting 17–45% of women. Increased pressure on the stomach and hormonal changes can weaken the lower oesophageal sphincter, slowing acid clearance and causing reflux.

Symptoms often appear late in the first trimester or early second trimester. If you experience GORD while pregnant, consulting a gastroenterologist is the best way to manage symptoms and ensure the well-being of both you and your baby.

The good news: For most women, reflux symptoms significantly improve after giving birth, and ongoing treatment is usually no longer required.
