What Is a Hiatal Hernia and How Is It Detected?
A hiatal hernia occurs when the upper part of the stomach pushes up into the chest through a small opening in the diaphragm, the layer of tissue that separates the abdomen from the chest. While it may not cause any symptoms at all, the condition can involve abdominal discomfort. A hiatal hernia is usually detected during a test to determine the cause of heartburn, reflux, or chest pain. These tests include:
X-Ray
Your healthcare team may have you drink a chalky liquid so they can take X-rays to see the outline of the esophagus, stomach, and upper intestine.
Endoscopy

What Our Clients Are Saying
“I had a gastric sleeve surgery. I felt the medical care here in Tijuana was better than the US. The doctor found a large hernia that I complained to my US doctors about for 4 years and was dismissed without even scanning or testing for. My stop Obesity surgeon found and repaired it. I am already feeling SO very much better! I am overjoyed that I decided to travel to Tijuana for such magnificent care!” Cinthia Johnson-Pettis
