2. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

  • Includes: Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
  • Description: Chronic inflammation of the GI tract.
  • Symptoms: Abdominal pain, diarrhea (often bloody), weight loss, and fatigue.
  • Treatment: Anti-inflammatory drugs, immune system suppressors, biologics, and sometimes surgery.

3. Liver Diseases (Hepatitis and Cirrhosis)

  • Description: Hepatitis (viral or autoimmune) involves liver inflammation, while cirrhosis is scarring due to chronic liver damage.
  • Symptoms: Jaundice, fatigue, swelling in the abdomen, and confusion in advanced cases.
  • Treatment: Antiviral medications (for hepatitis), lifestyle changes, and liver transplantation for advanced cirrhosis.

4. Colorectal Cancer and Polyps

Screening & Preventive Health for Long-Term Digestive Wellness

At United Gastroenterology Associates, we prioritize proactive care through comprehensive colonoscopy screenings and preventive health counseling to safeguard your digestive health.

Colonoscopy: The Key to Early Detection

A screening colonoscopy is essential for the early detection of colorectal cancer, one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. Regular screenings, particularly for adults over 45 or those with a family history, help prevent cancer by identifying and removing precancerous polyps before they become dangerous. We use the latest technology to ensure a safe, comfortable, and effective screening experience.

Preventive Health Counseling for Digestive Wellness

Maintaining long-term digestive health requires preventive care. Our personalized preventive health counseling focuses on lifestyle adjustments, dietary changes, and managing risk factors like obesity, smoking, and stress. Whether you’re looking to manage your weight, lower your risk of chronic conditions, or alleviate digestive discomfort, our team offers the guidance needed to achieve a healthier, more balanced life.

Guidance on Digestive Health: Comprehensive guides from the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) to help you understand gastrointestinal symptoms and know when to seek medical attention. At United Gastroenterology Associates, we utilize state-of-the-art technology for precise diagnosis and advanced treatment.
