Intenstine

It is a serious condition in which part of the intestine slides into an adjacent part of the intestine. This "telescoping" often blocks food or fluid from passing through.

If the intestine is torn, if an enema is unsuccessful in correcting the problem or if a lead point is the cause, surgery is necessary. The surgeon will free the portion of the intestine that is trapped, clear the obstruction and, if necessary, remove any of the intestinal tissue that has died. Surgery is the main treatment for adults and for people who are acutely ill.

A prolapsed rectum can be reduced with gentle digital pressure; an incarcerated rectal prolapse is rare. Although no medical treatment is available for rectal prolapse, internal prolapse should always be first treated medically with bulking agents, stool softeners, and suppositories or enemas. Biofeedback may be helpful if paradoxical pelvic floor contraction also exists.  Surgical treatments can be divided into two categories according to the approach used to repair the rectal prolapse: abdominal procedures and perineal procedures. The choice between an abdominal procedure and a perineal procedure is mainly dictated by the patient’s age and comorbidities (other coexisting medical conditions).

Treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) focuses on relieving symptoms so that you can live as normally as possible. Mild signs and symptoms can often be controlled by managing stress and by making changes in your diet and lifestyle Medications approved for certain people with IBS include: Alosetron (Lotronex). Eluxadoline (Viberzi), Rifaximin (Xifaxan) Lubiprostone (Amitiza) Linaclotide (Linzess)

Treatment usually involves surgical removal of the tumor followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. A clinical trial may also an option. For rectal cancer, radiation therapy may be used with chemotherapy before or after surgery, along with adjuvant chemotherapy.

The only way to manage the symptoms of celiac disease is to eat a strict gluten-free diet. Eating foods without gluten lets your small intestine heal, and stops future problems and inflammation. One needs to avoid any foods made with wheat and wheat flour.

They are typically staged using the American Joint Committee on Cancer's TNM (Tumor, node, metastasis) system. Some types of cancers like carcinoid tumors do not have a standard staging system. In this case, the spread of the cancer is simply defined as localized, regional or distant. The intestinal cancer stages described here are for the more common adenocarcinomas and are defined using the TNM system. Once the category is assigned, the cancer is diagnosed at one of the following stages:

Stage 0: The cancer has not grown beyond the mucosa.

Stage I (stage 1 intestinal cancer): In this stage, the disease has grown beyond the mucosa, but has not spread beyond the small intestine to other sites or lymph nodes.

Stage II (stage 2 intestinal cancer): The cancer has grown into or through the intestinal wall. At this stage, it may or may not have reached nearby organs. There is no evidence of spread of disease to lymph nodes or distant sites.

Stage III (stage 3 intestinal cancer): In stage III of intestinal cancer, the disease has metastasized to nearby lymph nodes. The tumor may be any size (T1 through T4). The cancer may or may not have reached nearby organs. Distant sites like the lung or liver remain unaffected.

Stage IV (stage 4 intestinal cancer): The cancer may be any size and has spread throughout the body to distant sites like the liver, lung or lining of the abdominal cavity.

Presently, azithromycin is the preferred first-line antibiotic for the treatment of acute watery diarrhea (single dose 500 mg), as well as for febrile diarrhea and dysentery (single dose 1,000 mg). In the case of traveler's diarrhea, antibiotic treatment is effective in reducing the duration and severity of diarrhea. Because of the high rates of resistance to ampicillin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, currently the drugs recommended include azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, and rifaximin

Colorectal cancer screening can find precancerous polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer. In this way, colorectal cancer is prevented. Screening can also find colorectal cancer early, when treatment works best.

Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are common disorders that are characterized by persistent and recurring GI symptoms. These occur as a result of abnormal functioning of the GI tract. They are not caused by structural (tumors or masses) or biochemical abnormalities.

Bacterial gastroenteritis happens when bacteria cause an infection in your gut. This causes inflammation in your stomach and intestines. Symptoms like vomiting, severe abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. While viruses cause many gastrointestinal infections, bacterial infections are also common.
