Acid reflux, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), is the backward flow of stomach acid into the tube that connects your throat to your stomach, called the esophagus. During an episode of acid reflux, you might feel a burning sensation in your chest, commonly called heartburn. This can happen after eating a big meal or drinking coffee or alcohol.
Sometimes acid reflux progresses to GERD, a more severe form of reflux. The most common symptom of GERD is frequent heartburn.
Gastritis is a general term for a group of conditions with one thing in common: Inflammation of the lining of the stomach. The inflammation of gastritis is most often the result of infection with the same bacterium that causes most stomach ulcers or the regular use of certain pain relievers. Drinking too much alcohol also can contribute to gastritis. It may occur suddenly (acute gastritis) or appear slowly over time (chronic gastritis). In some cases, gastritis can lead to ulcers and an increased risk of stomach cancer. For most people, however, gastritis isn't serious and improves quickly with treatment.
Constipation is a problem with passing stool. Constipation generally means passing fewer than three stools a week or having a difficult time passing stool. It is fairly common. A lack of dietary fiber, fluids and exercise can cause constipation. But other medical conditions or certain medicines may be the cause.
Constipation is usually treated with changes in diet and exercise or with nonprescription medicines. Constipation may require medicines, changes in medicines or other treatments prescribed by a health care professional. Long-term constipation, also called chronic constipation, may require treating another disease or condition that can cause or worsen constipation.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are two distinct gastrointestinal disorders, though the differences between the two can be confusing for many people.
While they have some similar symptoms, IBS and IBD are not the same condition and they require very different treatments. It is essential to get an accurate diagnosis so that you can properly manage your condition.
Hemorrhoids (HEM-uh-roids), also called piles, are swollen veins in the anus and lower rectum. Hemorrhoids are similar to varicose veins. Hemorrhoids can develop inside the rectum, called internal hemorrhoids. They also can develop under the skin around the anus, called external hemorrhoids.
There are several options available to treat hemorrhoids. Many people get relief with home treatments and lifestyle changes.
Fissure & Fistula are different conditions. An anal fissure is a crack or a tear in the tissue of the anus. A fistula is when a tunnel or connection forms between two organs or the organ and the skin.
Fissures and fistulas can both cause pain and bleeding. However, they are treated differently.
Fatty Liver means you have extra fat in your liver. You might hear your doctor call it hepatic steatosis. Most of the time, it doesn't cause symptoms. With diet and exercise, fatty liver disease can be reversed. Drinking a lot of alcohol can make you more likely to get one type of fatty liver disease. Over time, too much alcohol leads to a buildup of fat inside your liver cells. This makes it harder for your liver to work. The good news is you can prevent or stop FLD with lifestyle changes.
Pigmentation means coloring. Skin pigmentation disorders affect the color of your skin. Your skin gets its color from a pigment called melanin. Special cells in the skin make melanin. When these cells become damaged or unhealthy, it affects melanin production. Some pigmentation disorders affect just patches of skin. Others affect your entire body.
The most common sleep problem for people living with migraine is insomnia. This includes difficulty falling or staying asleep, early morning awakenings and non-refreshing sleep. Insomnia impairs daytime functions, which results in fatigue, poor attention and concentration, and loss of motivation.
Kidney stones (also called renal calculi, nephrolithiasis or urolithiasis) are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside your kidneys.
Diet, excess body weight, some medical conditions, and certain supplements and medications are among the many causes of kidney stones. Kidney stones can affect any part of your urinary tract. Often, stones form when the urine becomes concentrated, allowing minerals to crystallize and stick together.
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection in any part of the urinary system. The urinary system includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Most infections involve the lower urinary tract (the bladder and the urethra).
Women are at greater risk of developing a UTI than are men. If an infection is limited to the bladder, it can be painful and annoying. But serious health problems can result if a UTI spreads to the kidneys.
Psoriasis and skin allergies both involve your immune system.
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease. That means your body's immune system wrongly attacks some of its own healthy cells.
Skin allergy happens when your immune system has a severe reaction to something that most people don't have a problem with.
Skin allergies may trigger psoriasis due to a scratching-related skin injury.
Obesity is a complex disease involving having too much body fat. Obesity isn't just a cosmetic concern. It's a medical problem that increases the risk of many other diseases and health problems. These can include heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, liver disease, sleep apnea and certain cancers.
There are many reasons why some people have trouble losing weight. Often, obesity results from inherited, physiological and environmental factors, combined with diet, physical activity and exercise choices.
