### Common Stomach Diseases and Problems

- **Peptic Ulcers** (Gastric or Duodenal Ulcers): Sores in the stomach or small intestine lining.
- **Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD/Acid Reflux)**: Stomach acid flowing back into the esophagus, causing heartburn.
- **Dyspepsia (Indigestion)**: Persistent upper abdominal discomfort, bloating, or early fullness.
- **Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) Infection**: Bacterial infection linked to ulcers and gastritis.
- **Functional Dyspepsia**: Symptoms without visible structural damage.
- **Stomach Polyps or Tumors**: Benign or malignant growths (including gastric cancer in advanced cases).

### Diagnosis by Dr. Karan R Rawat
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. Dr. Rawat uses:
- Detailed history and physical examination.

- Imaging (Ultrasound, CT if needed).
- pH monitoring or manometry for complex reflux cases.
### Treatment Approaches: Medical, Endoscopic, and Surgical
Dr. Rawat tailors treatment based on the specific condition and severity, emphasizing minimally invasive options:
**Conservative & Medical Management**:
- Lifestyle modifications: Diet changes (avoid triggers, smaller frequent meals), weight loss, elevating head during sleep.

- Stress management and avoiding irritants.
**Advanced Interventions**:
- **Endoscopic Procedures**: For removing polyps, treating bleeding ulcers, or managing strictures.
