Symptoms
Our Gastroenterology team at UHS provides specialized care for patients with a wide range of digestive health concerns. Do not ignore the following warning signs:
Ongoing Stomach Pain or Frequent Indigestion
Persistent abdominal discomfort, bloating, or repeated indigestion may indicate underlying gastrointestinal issues that require specialist evaluation.
Difficulty Swallowing or Food “Getting Stuck”
Trouble swallowing or the sensation of food being lodged in the throat could signal disorders of the esophagus that need prompt assessment.
Frequent Heartburn or Acid Reflux
Heartburn occurring more than twice weekly may be a sign of GERD, a condition that requires proper management to prevent complications.
Blood in Stool or Black, Tar-Like Stools
Visible blood or dark stools can indicate bleeding in the digestive tract and must be investigated immediately.
Chronic Constipation or Diarrhea
Long-term changes in bowel habits—whether constipation or diarrhea—may be linked to IBS, IBD, or other digestive conditions needing medical care.
Unexplained Weight Loss or Persistent Fatigue
Sudden weight loss or ongoing fatigue may point to malabsorption, chronic inflammation, or other gastrointestinal disorders.
Family History of Colon or Stomach Cancer
Individuals with a family history of GI cancers should undergo preventive screenings, including colonoscopy, for early detection.
