Los Angeles colorectal cancer - GERD Symptoms and seeki
Posted April 15, 2011 by drtabib in Health




The recent health craze is not all about losing weight but also about becoming healthier. Being healthy not only dictates living a longer life but also living a more active life. Eating healthy meals that are low in fat and in acid can help prevent stomach disease and keep one away from having to see a specialist such as Beverly Hills Gastroenterologist; However, choosing to eat healthy after experiencing symptoms of what could be a stomach disease is a good choice, but one should also take the initiative and see a specialist to make sure that one is in good health or to correct a problem if any.

<o:p></o:p>


Gastroenterologist Beverly Hills specialize in the digestive tract, and symptoms such as heart burn, rectal bleeding, excess gas and other abnormal symptoms of the stomach may indicate illness of the digestive tract. Although having some heartburn is natural experiencing heartburn more than twice a week can mean a serious problem such as GERD, which can lead to other health problems. GERD is the abbreviated version of Los Angeles gastroesophageal reflux disease. This occurs when the lower part of the esophageal sphincter does not close properly and the stomach contents leak back into the esophagus (reflux). The esophagus carries food from the mouth to the stomach, when the refluxed stomach acid touches the lining of the esophagus it causes heart burn. Again, occasional heart burn is natural, and does not indicate GERD, but if one experiences heart burn more than twice a week it may be caused by GERD.

GERD can be corrected by changing ones eating habits, losing weight or simply staying away from foods that that may cause heart burn. There are generally no other symptoms to GERD. If one is experiencing more severe symptoms such as diarrhea, rectal bleeding or inflammation the problem may be more serious. For example, Los Angeles colorectal cancer may cause these symptoms when the disease as progressed enough. Although these symptoms are in many cases signs of bigger problems they can also indicate an illness that has been left untreated for too long. One should think back as far as they can to when any symptom first began and write them all down so that one’s specialist can do the proper testing.

Digestive tract problems are not all serious, and most can be treated with changing ones life style. If pain or symptoms do not subside after months of treatment then surgery is explored if it is best for the patient. One should always seek medical help if any of these problems arise and then seek a second opinion of the problem is serious.

abdominal adhesions - Helping Safeguard Your Stomach He
Posted March 17, 2011 by drtabib in Health

Stomach problems can be some of the most uncomfortable medical issues you can face. And on occasion, they can develop into very dangerous conditions. Stomach and abdominal pain and discomfort can be a symptom of a wide range of different problems, and proper diagnosis by a professional is the only real way to know if what you're feeling is more than just heartburn or gas. Seeing a Beverly Hills gastroenterologist can help diagnose and treat any number of abdominal problems. If regular stomach pains are plaguing you, scheduling a visit is a good idea. Regular visits are also recommended when you get older to help check for problems that need to be treated early such as cancer or polyps.





When you visit your gastroenterologist, he'll asses your unique situation and factor in your age, risks of certain diseases, and current symptoms. You may need to have a procedure known as an endoscopy. A Beverly Hills endoscopy exam involves the insertion of a camera mounted to a flexible tube into your rectum. Don't worry—you'll be sedated as the process takes place. Your doctor will check for any abnormalities in your intestines as the camera makes its way through your bowels. It's an outpatient surgery, and you'll be able to go home on the same day and aren't likely to experience any significant discomfort aside from some gas pains.





Polyps will be one of the main things your doctor will check for. A Los Angeles colon polyp is often nothing major, but removal of the polyp is a safe route of treatment as if they are left to their own devices they run the risk of developing into colorectal cancer, a very serious form of cancer. Early removal drastically reduces the risk of cancer, so it is a good idea to visit your doctor for regular screenings if you are at risk for colon polyps. Unfortunately, colon polyps are usually not announced by symptoms, other than on rare occasions.





If you've had abdominal surgery before, and are experiencing pain, you could be suffering from abdominal adhesions Adhesions are bands of tissue which sometimes form between organs and tissue, causing them to stick together. These adhesions are most commonly caused by surgery. In fact, nearly everyone who has gone through abdominal surgery develops abdominal adhesions. Usually, they don’t cause any significant problems, but on occasion you may suffer from pain, female infertility, or intestinal blockages. Again, a visit to a gastroenterologist can determine if you're suffering from adhesions or something more serious.

In order to determine if you have any of the preconditions of colorectal cancer, Los Angeles gastroentorologists recommend getting a colonoscopy, which is a simple 20 minute procedure. Patients who experience rectal bleeding, chronic rectal pain, or who have a family history of colon cancer are good candidates for a colonoscopy. Before receiving a colonoscopy the patient must refrain from eating for a full day and take a strong laxative the night before. The gastroentorologist will insert a colonoscope to pump air into the colon. The air inflates the colon, allowing the doctor to see the entire lining of the colon. If the doctor finds polyps during the procedure he will most likely remove them then and there, or he may cut a sample of the lining to do further tests on.

People who suffer from heartburn, acid reflux, or indigestion are at risk for cancer of the esophagus. A simple 5 minute procedure called an upper GI endoscopy can help determine if there are cancerous cells in the esophagus. The procedure uses a lighted, flexible endoscope to see the inside of the esophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine. In Los Angeles endoscopy patients are expected to fast and refrain from chewing gum or smoking for up to 8 hours before the procedure. An endoscopy can detect ulcers, cancerous growths, bowel obstructions, inflamation, and hernias. People suffering from abdominal pain, vomiting, anemia, unexplained weightloss, or acid reflux should speak to a Beverly Hills gastroentorologist about an endoscopy.<o:p></o:p>
