    1. Acid Reflux (GERD): GERD occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing heartburn and other symptoms.
    2. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): IBS is a chronic condition affecting the large intestine, causing symptoms like cramping, bloating, and changes in bowel habits.
    3. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): This includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, which cause chronic inflammation of the digestive tract.
    4. Liver Diseases: Conditions such as hepatitis, fatty liver disease, and cirrhosis that affect liver function.
    5. Gallstones: Hardened deposits in the gallbladder that can cause pain and digestive problems.
    6. Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas, often leading to severe abdominal pain.

How We Diagnose Digestive Conditions:

Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. Our Gastroenterology Department offers a variety of diagnostic tests and procedures, including:

  • Endoscopy: A procedure where a flexible tube with a camera is used to view the digestive tract, helping diagnose conditions like ulcers, GERD, and cancer.
  • Colonoscopy: An examination of the colon using a flexible tube with a camera to screen for colon cancer and diagnose conditions like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
  • Ultrasound: Uses sound waves to create images of the digestive organs, helping diagnose conditions like gallstones and liver disease.
  • CT and MRI Scans: Provide detailed images of the digestive system, useful for diagnosing conditions like tumors, inflammation, and blockages.
  • Blood Tests: To check for signs of liver disease, inflammation, infection, and other conditions.
  • Stool Tests: To detect infections, inflammation, and other digestive disorders.
