Gastrointestinal disorders can affect the stomach, intestines, liver, and other parts of the digestive system, often causing symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, acidity, heartburn, indigestion, constipation, diarrhoea, nausea, or changes in bowel habits. Timely evaluation can help identify the underlying cause and guide appropriate treatment.
Common Gastrointestinal Conditions
Treatment may be recommended for conditions such as acid reflux and GERD, gastritis, peptic ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), constipation, diarrhoea, inflammatory bowel conditions, and other digestive disorders. The appropriate approach depends on the symptoms, medical history, examination, and diagnostic findings.
Diagnosis and Treatment
A gastroenterology specialist may recommend blood tests, stool tests, ultrasound, CT scans, endoscopy, colonoscopy, or other investigations when clinically appropriate. Treatment can include medicines, dietary and lifestyle modifications, nutritional guidance, or minimally invasive procedures depending on the condition.
What to Expect
Your treatment plan is tailored to your symptoms and diagnosis. Your doctor may discuss dietary habits, medication use, hydration, physical activity, and other factors that can influence digestive health. Follow-up appointments may be advised to monitor symptoms and adjust treatment when necessary.
