Colorectal cancer, is cancer that starts in the large intestine (colon) or the re**um (end of the colon).

In the United States, colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of deaths due to cancer. Early diagnosis can often lead to a complete cure.

Treatment depends on many things, including the stage of the cancer. Treatments may include surgery to remove the tumor

SURGERY

Stage 0 colon cancer may be treated by removing the tumor. This is often done using colonoscopy. For stages I, II, and III cancer, more extensive surgery is needed to remove the part of the colon that is cancerous. This surgery is called colon resection (colectomy).

Feeling the Burn This Holiday Season?

GERD Doctor in Merced, CA (209) 723-2799

https://www.mercedgastrosurgeon.com/

You've probably felt it. After a meal, a burning sensation rises through your chest, or up to your throat. This feeling can come from reflux: when acid and food rise up from the stomach into the esophagus, which is the tube that connects your stomach to your throat.

Occasional reflux is normal. Most people may not even feel it. Sometimes it's mild, with occasional heartburn after large meals. Reflux can also cause coughing, wheezing, or problems swallowing.

Stomach Disorders Also Called: Gastric Disorders

GERD Doctor in Merced, CA (209) 723-2799

https://www.mercedgastrosurgeon.com/

Your stomach is an organ between your esophagus and small intestine. It is where digestion of protein begins. The stomach has three tasks. It stores swallowed food. It mixes the food with stomach acids. Then it sends the mixture on to the small intestine.

Most people have a problem with their stomach at one time or another. Indigestion and heartburn are common problems. You can relieve some stomach problems with over-the-counter medicines and lifestyle changes, such as avoiding fatty foods or eating more slowly. Other problems like peptic ulcers or GERD require medical attention.

You should see a doctor if you have any of the following:

Blood when you have a bowel movement
Severe abdominal pain
Heartburn not relieved by antacids
Unintended weight loss
Ongoing vomiting or diarrhea

What is Achalasia?

GERD Doctor in Merced, CA (209) 723-2799

https://www.mercedgastrosurgeon.com/

Achalasia is a disorder of the esophagus, the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. It is characterized by enlargement of the esophagus, impaired ability of the esophagus to push food down toward the stomach (peristalsis), and failure of the ring-shaped muscle at the bottom of the esophagus (the lower esophageal sphincter) to relax.[1] Achalasia is typically diagnosed in individuals between 25 and 60 years of age. The exact etiology is unknown, however, symptoms are caused by damage to the nerves of the esophagus.[2] Familial studies have shown evidence of a potential genetic influence. When a genetic influence is suspected, achalasia is called familial esophageal achalasia. Treatment is aimed at reducing the pressure at the lower esophageal sphincter.

How do doctors treat appendicitis?

GERD Doctor in Merced, CA (209) 723-2799

https://www.mercedgastrosurgeon.com/

Doctors typically treat appendicitis with surgery to remove the appendix. Surgeons perform the surgery in a hospital with general anesthesia. Your doctor will recommend surgery if you have continuous abdominal pain and fever, or signs of a burst appendix and infection. Prompt surgery decreases the chance that your appendix will burst.

Health care professionals call the surgery to remove the appendix an appendectomy. Alfred B. Johnson is an expert Gastro Surgeon who can perform this surgery using one of the following methods:

Laparoscopic surgery. During laparoscopic surgery, surgeons use several smaller incisions and special surgical tools that they feed through the incisions to remove your appendix. Laparoscopic surgery leads to fewer complications, such as hospital-related infections, and has a shorter recovery time. (niddk.nih.gov)

Contact Alfred B. Johnson MD clinic in Merced CA to consult with a doctor about Laparoscopic Appendectomy for appendicitis.
