A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Scott Wiesen provides expert care for a range of conditions, focusing on early detection and effective management to support your long-term wellness. Common areas of focus include:

• Intestinal Malabsorption Carbohydrate: Intestinal malabsorption of carbohydrates means your body isn't properly absorbing sugars from food, which can lead to long-term health problems if left unmanaged, so early detection is crucial.
• Esophageal Diseases: Protecting your esophagus through healthy lifestyle choices and regular check-ups can significantly reduce your risk of developing serious esophageal diseases.
• Stomach and Small Intestine Cancer: Understanding family history and undergoing recommended screenings are vital steps in preventing or early detecting stomach and small intestine cancers, ensuring better health outcomes.
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves chronic inflammation in your digestive tract, and early detection through regular checkups can help manage symptoms and prevent serious complications.
• Duodenal Cancer: Managing risk factors like chronic inflammation and infection helps prevent duodenal cancer and other serious digestive conditions, emphasizing the significance of proactive healthcare.
• Enteritis: Enteritis, or inflammation of the intestines, can be prevented by practicing good hygiene and food safety to avoid infections that trigger it, protecting your digestive health.
• Gastrojejunal Ulcer: Protecting your digestive system involves being aware of gastrojejunal ulcers; lifestyle changes and medication can help prevent their formation and reduce the risk of severe complications.
• Alcoholic Cirrhosis: Alcoholic cirrhosis can be slowed or prevented by reducing alcohol consumption and making healthy lifestyle choices, promoting overall digestive well-being.
• Ulcer: Preventing ulcers, and the serious health problems they can cause, relies on a combination of healthy habits and medical intervention when needed, emphasizing the role of preventive care in safeguarding your digestive well-being.
• Barretts Esophagus with Dysplasia: Having Barrett's esophagus with dysplasia means your esophagus cells have abnormal changes, making you more prone to cancer; proactive management through regular monitoring and lifestyle adjustments can significantly reduce this risk.
• Ileus: Ileus, a blockage in your intestines, can be prevented by staying well-hydrated and maintaining a healthy diet rich in fiber to support regular bowel movements.
• Acute Gastritis: Early detection and management of acute gastritis are vital because it can lead to more serious digestive problems if left untreated; prompt medical attention and lifestyle changes are key.

• Duodenal Polypectomy: For comprehensive digestive health management, duodenal polypectomy helps identify and remove polyps in your duodenum, a proactive approach to preventing potential complications like cancer.
• Colon Cancer Screening: Colon cancer screening helps detect precancerous polyps and early-stage colon cancer, allowing for prompt treatment and improving your chances of survival.
• Hemorrhoidectomy or Excision of Anal Tags: Hemorrhoidectomy or excision of anal tags is a surgical procedure to remove hemorrhoids or skin tags around the anus, improving comfort and preventing further complications.

• Liver Biopsy: To ensure the health of your liver, a liver biopsy helps doctors assess the extent of liver damage and guide treatment decisions, ultimately preventing further complications.
• Colonoscopy: Protect your future by scheduling a colonoscopy; this procedure provides an in-depth look at your colon, enabling early detection and removal of precancerous polyps.
• Esophagoscopy: Take charge of your health with an esophagoscopy, a procedure that helps doctors identify potential problems in your esophagus, such as reflux or cancerous growths, at the earliest stages.
• Manometry: Manometry is a simple test that measures the pressure in your esophagus, stomach, and intestines to help identify problems with swallowing, digestion, or bowel movements, allowing for early intervention and prevention of complications.
• ERCP With Spincterotomy: To maintain the health of your entire digestive system, ERCP with sphincterotomy is a procedure that can address blockages in your bile ducts and pancreatic ducts, reducing your risk of serious complications.
• Esophagogastroscopy: Protecting your upper digestive tract is key. Esophagogastroscopy is a screening tool that allows for early detection of ulcers, inflammation, or even cancerous changes in your esophagus and stomach.
