How are gastrointestinal problems treated?

The skilled physicians at Riverview Surgical Center will offer a variety of treatment options to improve the function of your gastrointestinal system.

For conditions like chronic acid reflux or irritable bowel syndrome, your doctor may recommend a combination of lifestyle changes, diet changes, and medications.

If you have chronic pain from polyps or other abnormal growths, your Riverview Surgical Center provider may recommend a procedure such as a colonoscopy or an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD).

An EGD is a procedure that examines the esophagus, stomach and first part of the small intestine called the duodenum using a long flexible tube with a camera at the end of it. The scope is inserted into the mouth and advanced along the gastrointestinal tract.

A colonoscopy is an exam used to detect changes and abnormalities in the large intestine (colon) and rectum. A long, flexible tube is inserted into the rectum, and a small video camera at the tip of the tube allows your physician to view the inside of the colon.

These procedures are also available to diagnose unexplained pain and to repair injuries caused by direct trauma. These procedures are often performed under moderate sedation during an outpatient short stay.

If your life is disrupted by issues like chronic abdominal pain or persistent diarrhea, don’t delay diagnosis and contact your doctor at Riverview Surgical Center today.
