Overview

There are no established measures for the secondary prevention of hiatus hernia.

Secondary Prevention

  • Effective measures for the secondary prevention of a hiatus hernia include preventing and treating gastroesophageal reflux disease:[1][2]
    • Lifestyle modifications:
      • Weight loss
      • Exercise
      • Balanced diet
      • Avoiding large meals, meals just before bedtime, alcohol, and acidic foods.
      • Avoiding caffeine, chocolate, carbonated beverages and foods with high fat content.
    • Management by using proton pump inhibitors.
    • Repairing the hernia to prevent recurrence[3]
