Understanding the Digestive System: A Comprehensive Guide
Common Digestive Disorders
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
GERD occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing heartburn and irritation. Lifestyle changes, medications, and, in severe cases, surgery can help manage GERD.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
IBS is a chronic condition characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits. Dietary modifications, stress management, and medications can alleviate symptoms.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
IBD includes conditions like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, where the immune system attacks the digestive tract, causing inflammation. Treatment typically involves medications, lifestyle changes, and sometimes surgery.
Liver Diseases
Conditions such as hepatitis, fatty liver disease, and cirrhosis affect the liver's function. Early diagnosis and treatment by a liver medical specialist are crucial for managing liver diseases.
