Common Gastrointestinal Diseases: Overview and Symptoms
Healthcare providers encounter various gastrointestinal (GI) diseases affecting the digestive system. Here are some prevalent conditions:
1. GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease): Chronic condition with stomach acid flowing back into the esophagus, causing heartburn and regurgitation.
2. Peptic Ulcer Disease: Sores on the stomach, upper small intestine, or esophagus due to stomach acid erosion.
3. IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease): Chronic inflammation in the intestines, such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, leading to abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss.
4. IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome): Functional disorder causing abdominal pain, bloating, and bowel habit changes without structural abnormalities.
5. Celiac Disease: Autoimmune disorder damaging the small intestine due to gluten ingestion, leading to nutrient malabsorption.
6. Gallstones: Hardened deposits in the gallbladder causing pain, nausea, and digestive issues.
7. Hepatitis: Liver inflammation often due to viral infections (Hepatitis A, B, C) or factors like alcohol consumption.
8. Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas, associated with abdominal pain and digestive enzyme imbalances, can be acute or chronic.
9. Diverticulitis: Inflammation or infection of diverticula in the colon walls.
10. Colorectal Cancer: Cancer developing in the colon or rectum, often starting as polyps that can be detected and removed early.
Healthcare providers tailor diagnoses and treatments based on the specific disease and its severity. If experiencing digestive issues, consult a professional for proper evaluation and management.
