Constipation is a common gastrointestinal complaint characterized by infrequent bowel movements or difficulty passing stools that persist for several weeks or longer.

A consistent routine focusing on healthy habits usually leads to significant improvement in symptoms without need for invasive procedures.

NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE (NAFLD) CARE

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) Care

This condition involves excess fat build-up in liver cells unrelated to alcohol consumption. NAFLD is increasingly common worldwide due to lifestyle factors.

  • If untreated, GERD can lead to complications but early treatment improves outcomes substantially.

A proactive approach combining habit changes with medication can minimize discomfort and prevent progression of this condition.

IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME (IBS) MANAGEMENT
