• Upper Digestive Tract Disorders

  

  The upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract consists of the mouth, oesophagus, stomach and the first part of the small intestine (the duodenum).

  Common conditions affecting the upper GI tract such as dyspepsia, peptic ulcers, gastritis, cancer, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or heartburn usually require prompt clinical care by a gastroenterologist or a colorectal surgeon. Find out about upper GI conditions and their treatment options.

• Lower Digestive Tract Disorders

  

  The lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract comprises all other parts of the GI tract beginning at the midsection of the small intestine (the jejunum) to the anus.

  Common conditions of the lower GI tract include diverticulitis, polyps, inflammatory bowel disease (IBS), haemorrhoids, cancer and anal fissures, and usually require prompt clinical care by a gastroenterologist or a colorectal surgeon.

• Liver, Gall Bladder, Pancreas and Bile Duct Disorders

  The liver is the largest internal organ in the body. Along with the pancreas, bile duct and gall bladder, it performs important functions such as filtering harmful substances, aiding digestion, producing proteins and enzymes, and assisting the immune system.

  Many liver, gall bladder, pancreas and bile duct diseases do not display any symptoms at first. Often, symptoms may only appear in the advanced stages. If left untreated, these diseases can lead to serious damage and even death. Find out more about these diseases.
