Gastroenterology Symptoms 

Gastroenterology Symptoms 

Gastrointestinal disorders can cause a range of symptoms, including abdominal pain, bloating, acid reflux, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and unexplained weight loss. Patients may also experience vomiting, difficulty swallowing, or blood in the stool. Chronic symptoms could indicate conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcers, liver disease, or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Identifying symptoms early helps in timely diagnosis and treatment, preventing complications like malnutrition, dehydration, and severe digestive issues.
