hiatus hernia


Sliding hiatus hernia

This is the most common type, affecting eight out of 10 people with a hiatus hernia. In a sliding hiatus hernia, the junction between the oesophagus and the stomach,as well as a portion of the stomach itself, slides up above the diaphragm.

Rolling hiatus hernia

This type (also know as a para-oesophageal hernia) is much less common, affecting only two out of 10 people with a hiatus hernia. Your gastro-oesophageal junction stays in its usual place in the abdomen below the diaphragm, but a portion of your stomach goes through the diaphragm and lies beside the oesophagus.

  2. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
