Gastroenterology
Endoscopy is a medical procedure that uses a flexible tube with a light and camera to visually examine the interior of organs or cavities in the body. It aids in diagnosing and treating various conditions, allowing for minimally invasive assessments of the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory system, joints, and other internal structures.
Bariatric surgery is a medical intervention that helps individuals achieve weight loss by altering the digestive system. Procedures such as gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, and gastric banding restrict the amount of food the stomach can hold or modify the absorption of nutrients.
Anorectal disorders involve conditions affecting the anus and rectum. Examples include hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and colorectal cancers. Symptoms may include pain, bleeding, and changes in bowel habits. Timely diagnosis and appropriate management are essential for optimal outcomes.
A fistula is an abnormal connection between two body parts, organs, or vessels. In the context of anorectal health, an anal fistula typically forms between the anal canal and the skin, often resulting from an untreated abscess. Surgical intervention is commonly required for effective treatment.
Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen blood vessels in the rectum and anus that cause discomfort and bleeding. Symptoms include pain, itching, and difficulty during bowel movements. Treatment options range from lifestyle changes to medical procedures, depending on the severity.
A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue protrudes through a weakened area in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. Common types include inguinal, umbilical, and hiatal hernias. Surgical repair is often necessary to address this condition.
