According to the statistics of the National Health Insurance Administration Ministry of Health and Welfare, the number of patients about gastroesophageal reflux disease has increased from 610,000 to over 760,000 in the past three years (2016-2018). Western medicine mainly uses proton pump inhibitors to improve symptoms. For patients who are ineffective in drug treatment, it will be treated by surgical treatment (Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication, endoluminal gastroplication).
