Abdominal Pain
Abdominal pain can be caused by various issues, some more serious than others. Frequent, unexplained, or excruciating pain should be addressed.
Anal/Rectal Bleeding
Anal (or rectal) could result from a variety of concerns, including diverticular disease, an anal fissure, colon polyps, hemorrhoids, and more.
Bloating
Bloating is an uncomfortable sensation that most people have experienced; however, consistent bloating is not normal, and our GI specialists can help.
Blood in the Stool
Blood in the stool indicates bleeding somewhere in the gastrointestinal system and can be caused by several things, some more concerning than others.
Bowel Incontinence
Bowel incontinence can be a burdensome issue and can wreak havoc on your life; a GI doctor can help identify the cause and create a treatment plan.
Constipation
Constipation may indicate a larger issue is at hand, which is why you should visit a GI doctor if you have less than three bowel movements weekly.
Diarrhea
Frequent or lasting diarrhea or diarrhea accompanied by other GI issues should be evaluated by a GI specialist as it could indicate something else.
Difficulty Swallowing
Difficulty swallowing could be caused by anything from a food allergy to an esophageal contraction; either way, it's important to find the root cause.
Heartburn
While most experience heartburn occasionally, you should see a GI specialist if it isn't relieved by antacids or if you rely on antacids too often.
Indigestion
Indigestion may be a common feeling after eating; however, consistent indigestion could be a sign of a more serious GI issue and should be evaluated.
Nausea
Many people experience nausea for various reasons, but nausea that is reoccurring or lasts longer than a day should be reviewed by a GI specialist.
Unexplained Weight Gain/Loss
Unexplained weight loss or gain can be surprising and concerning; our gastrointestinal specialists can help determine the cause of your weight change.
Vomiting
Vomiting occurs when the body thinks it has been poisoned and tries to get rid of it; it can be caused by sickness, food poisoning, or something else.
Yellowing of the Skin/Eyes
The skin and whites of the eyes can turn a yellowish color due to liver disease, bile duct obstruction, hepatitis, gallbladder inflammation, and more.
