Digestive Health

Turn to Wayne UNC Health Care to improve your digestive health. You’ll get dedicated care, advanced diagnostic tests and screenings, and treatments to help you find relief.

Your Digestive System

Your digestive system includes your gastrointestinal (GI) tract—mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus—and your liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. These organs work together to turn food into energy after you eat.

GI Conditions We Treat

Ask our dedicated physicians for diagnosis and treatment of gastroenterology conditions, including:

Colon polyps
Diverticulitis
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Gastrointestinal bleeding
Gastrointestinal cancers, including colon cancer
Hepatitis
Heartburn and indigestion
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Swallowing disorders
Ulcers

Diagnostic Services

Rely on your gastroenterologist at Wayne UNC to pinpoint the cause of your digestive health concerns. To diagnose your condition, your doctor may:

Review your health history
Perform a physical examination
Order lab tests, such as stool analysis
Recommend diagnostic endoscopic procedures or imaging tests to see inside your body

Digestive Care and Treatment

Depending on your condition, your doctor may recommend dietary and lifestyle changes or medications to help improve your digestive symptoms and discomfort. If your symptoms don’t get better, you and your doctor may choose an endoscopic procedure or surgery to treat your condition.

Colorectal Cancer Screenings

Start regular screenings for colorectal cancer after you turn 50. You may need screenings earlier if you have inflammatory bowel disease, or if you or a close relative have had colorectal polyps or colorectal cancer. Find precancerous polyps (abnormal growths) before they turn into cancer with screening tests such as a colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy.
