  • Chronic Recurrent Abdominal Pain: Experiencing abdominal pain frequently? Addressing this proactively through medical consultation can prevent the pain from interfering with your daily life and potentially uncover treatable conditions.
  • Cholestasis of Pregnancy: Preventing serious complications during pregnancy, like premature birth, requires monitoring for cholestasis, a liver disorder affecting bile flow.
  • Neurogenic Bowel: Regular screenings and open communication with your doctor are crucial for preventive care concerning neurogenic bowel, minimizing discomfort and reducing the risk of long-term complications.
  • Anorectal Stricture: Lifestyle changes promoting healthy bowel habits, such as maintaining hydration and fiber intake, can help prevent the development of anorectal strictures by reducing straining.
  • Giardiasis: Early identification and treatment of giardiasis are crucial for preventing dehydration and malnutrition, both common complications of this intestinal parasite infection.

  • Endoscopic Mucosal Resection: As part of your overall digestive health plan, EMR is a vital tool for identifying and removing polyps or other abnormal growths that could develop into cancer.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Gastrointestinal care with Dr. Steven Diamond:

What is a Gastroenterologist?
A gastroenterologist is a specialist physician trained to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, colon, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. They are experts in performing preventive screenings like colonoscopies.
When should I get my first screening colonoscopy?
For average-risk individuals, routine screening colonoscopies are now recommended to begin at age 45. However, those with a family history of colon cancer or other risk factors may need to start earlier. Dr. Diamond will determine the best, personalized screening schedule for you.
What are some common signs of liver problems I should watch for?
Common signs of liver problems include jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), persistent fatigue, abdominal swelling, and unexplained dark urine. If you experience any of these symptoms, please schedule a consultation with Dr. Steven Diamond for a thorough evaluation.
What are colon polyps, and are they dangerous?
Colon polyps are small, non-cancerous growths in the colon. However, some types can potentially develop into cancer over time. A colonoscopy is a crucial procedure to find and remove these polyps before they have a chance to become cancerous, preventing the disease.
I have frequent heartburn. When should I be concerned?
While occasional heartburn is common, frequent or worsening symptoms (more than twice a week) warrant a consultation with Dr. Diamond. This could be a sign of GERD, which, if left untreated, can lead to more serious problems. Dr. Diamond can diagnose the cause and create an effective treatment plan.
What is Celiac Disease?
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder where consuming gluten, a protein found in wheat, triggers damage to the lining of the small intestine. It's different from a simple gluten sensitivity, requiring a proper diagnosis from a gastroenterologist before starting a gluten-free diet.
What are gallstones?
Gallstones are small, hard deposits that can form in the gallbladder. Many people have them without any problems. They only become a concern if they cause blockages, leading to pain. Dr. Diamond can help diagnose this issue.
What is the difference between Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)?
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, is an autoimmune condition causing inflammation and damage to the gastrointestinal tract. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), on the other hand, is a functional disorder causing symptoms like cramping and bloating without visible inflammation or damage.
