Gastrointestinal Conditions Treatment in Hyderabad

Some common Gastrointestinal Conditions

• Defecation problem- Constipation is one of the common gastrointestinal complaints. It is the unsatisfactory passing out of stools with either infrequent hard stools, trouble in passing stools, straining during bowel movements, or a feeling that the bowel is not completely emptied. Laxatives and stool softeners can help relieve constipation. For constipation treatment in Hyderabad visit Sree Nandaka Advanced Surgery Clinic.
• Acid Reflux, heartburn, GERD (Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease)- Acid reflux is a gastrointestinal condition where there is regurgitation (backflow) of stomach contents including the acid. It can be acute, occasional, or chronic and it can lead to a burning sensation in the chest behind the breastbone- called heartburn. GERD is a chronic condition where the patient after having food and even on an empty stomach feels acid coming upwards from their stomach into the chest and oesophagus. GERD is manageable with medications and lifestyle modifications but if not, surgery is needed to strengthen the barrier between the stomach and oesophagus.  For best Acid Reflux or GERD treatment in Hyderabad visit Sree Nandaka Advanced Surgery Clinic.
• Bloating, Belching, and Flatulence- Bloating is a sense of fullness in the upper abdomen due to gas and/or food accumulation. Belching is the process where swallowed air builds up in the stomach and either belches back or passes out of the stomach into the intestines and finally passes as rectal gas. The passing of rectal gas is called flatulence. This gas is usually a mixture of the swallowed air and gas produced by colon bacteria's action on undigested carbohydrates. It can get trapped in any part of the abdomen and cause pain and discomfort. Dietary strategies, lifestyle changes, and medications can help.
• Functional Abdominal Pain Syndrome- It is a gastrointestinal disorder where there is frequent abdominal pain. It is usually caused by the alteration in the brain-gut axis and the nervous system's ability to regulate the pain signals of the gastrointestinal tract. Those who have recurrent infections of the gastrointestinal tract, have had multiple abdominal surgeries, repeated abdominal injuries, and have records of physical violence or sexual abuse usually suffer from this abdominal pain.
• Acute/Chronic Diarrhoea- Diarrhoea is a gastrointestinal condition where the patient frequently passes out loose, watery stools and even experiences abdominal cramps, nausea, fever, vomiting, urgency, and fatigue. Acute diarrhoea is usually caused by a bacterial infection or viral gastroenteritis. Chronic diarrhoea can be due to inflammatory bowel disease- Ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease, malabsorption of fats, or even colon cancer/polyps.

• Biliary tract disorders, Gallbladder disorders, Gallstone Pancreatitis- Gallbladder stones are extremely common gastrointestinal disorders that can affect the production and transportation of the bile juice made by the liver for the digestion of fatty foods. They are formed by the build-up of cholesterol and/or bile pigment in the gallbladder or the bile ducts of the liver. Gallstone pancreatitis is a life-threatening condition where the gallstone blocks the pancreatic duct, thereby making the pancreas inflamed.
• Indigestion treatment in Hyderabad /Dyspepsia- People with indigestion usually experience fullness while having a meal and are overly full after a meal or/and epigastric pain/ burning. Antacids, H2 receptor antagonists, prokinetics, and protein pump inhibitors can provide relief.
• Peptic Ulcer Disease – It is the gastrointestinal condition where an ulcer (open sore) forms due to acids in the stomach or duodenum, mostly because of Helicobacter pylori infection. It is treatable with medications.
