Liver, Stomach, Intestine and Pancreas Diseases

Protect Your Digestive System Health, Make Your Life Easier
The digestive system is one of the most important organ groups in our body, and the liver, stomach, intestines and pancreas form the basic building blocks of this system. These organs digest food, absorb the nutrients the body needs and enable us to live a healthy life. However, various diseases can negatively affect the functions of these organs. As Ento Surgical Medical Center, our team specializing in digestive system diseases offers the most effective treatment methods for your liver, stomach, intestines and pancreas health.

#### Liver Diseases:
The liver is the largest internal organ in our body and has many vital functions. Improper functioning of the liver can lead to a wide range of health problems, from metabolic disorders to toxin accumulation.

Liver Diseases and Causes:
- Fatty liver (Fatty liver): Associated with conditions such as alcohol use, obesity or diabetes.
- Hepatitis: Viral infections (Hepatitis A, B, C) can cause inflammation of the liver.
- Cirrhosis: A disease that develops as a result of long-term liver damage.
- Liver cancer: It can be treated in the early stages, but it usually does not show symptoms.

Symptoms:
- Abdominal pain and swelling
- Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
- Loss of appetite
- Excessive fatigue
- Dark urine

Stomach and Intestinal Diseases:
The stomach and intestines are organs that provide digestion and absorption of nutrients. However, these organs can be damaged by diseases such as gastritis, ulcers, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Stomach Diseases:
- Gastritis: Inflammation of the stomach lining.
- Peptic Ulcer: Openings and wounds occur in the stomach or duodenum.
- Reflux (GERD): Stomach acid leaking into the esophagus causes burning and pain.

Intestinal Diseases:
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Affects bowel movements, causing abdominal pain and bowel movements.
- Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis: Causes inflammation of the intestines, usually requiring long-term treatment.
- Intestinal infections: Bacterial, viral or parasitic infections can cause discomfort in the intestines.

Symptoms:
- Abdominal pain and bloating
- Heartburn or nausea
- Diarrhea or constipation
- Weight loss

Pancreatic Diseases:
The pancreas is responsible for the production of digestive juices as well as the secretion of the hormone insulin. Pancreatic diseases can lead to both digestive and metabolic problems.

Pancreatic Diseases:
- Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas. It can be acute or chronic.
- Pancreatic cancer: It is a type of cancer that develops in the pancreas and early diagnosis can be difficult.
- Diabetes Mellitus (Sugar disease): It is a disease that develops as a result of the deterioration of the insulin-producing function of the pancreas.

Symptoms:
- Pain in the upper abdomen
- Nausea and vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Jaundice
