What is Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR)?
LPR occurs when stomach acid flows back into the throat, irritating the vocal cords and causing discomfort. Unlike GERD, LPR may not always cause heartburn.

Causes of LPR

• Weak lower esophageal sphincter
• Spicy, acidic, or fatty foods
• Smoking and alcohol consumption

Diagnosis and Treatment
At Dr. Sachin Goel’s Clinic, we use endoscopy and pH monitoring for diagnosis.

Treatment options include:

• Dietary Changes: Avoiding acidic foods and caffeine.
• Medications: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or H2 blockers.
• Lifestyle Modifications: Weight management and avoiding late-night meals.
