Stomach Problems: Comprehensive Care at Care4u Hospital, Bhosari, Pune

What are Stomach Problems?

The stomach, situated in the upper abdomen, plays a vital role in the digestive system. It plays a significant role in breaking down food and processing nutrients. Stomach problems refer to various conditions that affect this essential organ, impacting your overall health and comfort. At Care4U Hospital in Bhosari, Pune, we offer expert diagnosis and treatment for all your stomach-related issues.

Common Stomach Issues

Several conditions can affect stomach health, including:

• Gastritis: Inflammation of the stomach lining, often caused by infection, medication, or excessive alcohol consumption.
• Ulcers: Sores in the stomach lining or the upper part of the small intestine, typically caused by H. pylori infection or long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs).
• Indigestion: Discomfort or pain in the upper abdomen, usually due to overeating, spicy foods, or fatty foods.
• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Is a condition where stomach acid regurgitates into the esophagus, leading to symptoms like heartburn and irritation.
• Stomach Flu: Viral or bacterial infections that cause inflammation of the stomach and intestines, leading to nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Diagnosis of Stomach Problems

To accurately diagnose stomach issues, our team at Care4U Hospital may:

• Perform a Physical Examination: Assess symptoms and check for tenderness in the abdominal area.
• Review Medical History: Discuss dietary habits and previous stomach conditions.
• Order Imaging Tests: Utilize endoscopy, ultrasound, or CT scans to examine the stomach lining and surrounding organs.
• Conduct Laboratory Tests: Analyze blood, stool, or breath samples to detect infections, inflammation, or other abnormalities.

Treatment for Stomach Conditions

Treatment varies depending on the specific condition and may include:

• Medications: Antacids, antibiotics, or proton pump inhibitors to manage symptoms and address underlying causes.
• Dietary Changes: Modify your diet to avoid irritants like spicy foods, caffeine, and alcohol.
• Lifestyle Adjustments: Reduce stress and avoid overeating to improve digestion and prevent reflux.
• Surgery: In severe cases, procedures may be necessary to address ulcers, gastritis, or other structural issues.

When to See a Doctor

Consult a healthcare provider at Care4U Hospital if you experience:

• Persistent or severe abdominal pain.
• Frequent nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
• Unexplained weight loss or appetite changes.

To help prevent stomach issues, consider:
