Gastrosciences
Pancreatic Cancer: Pancreatic cancer is a highly aggressive malignancy that originates in the pancreas, often diagnosed at an advanced stage. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, weight loss, jaundice, and digestive problems. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapies, although the prognosis can be challenging due to late-stage diagnosis.
Gallstones: Gallstones are solid particles that develop in the gallbladder, a small organ responsible for storing bile. They can cause severe abdominal pain, especially after eating fatty foods. Treatment options range from lifestyle changes and dietary modifications to surgical removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) when gallstones become problematic.
Gastritis: Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining, which can result from infection, excessive alcohol consumption, stress, or certain medications. Symptoms may include nausea, abdominal pain, and indigestion. Management often involves medication, dietary changes, and lifestyle adjustments.
