GI Problems with a Prevalence Among Women

Some problems involving the gastrointestinal (GI) system tend to be more common in women.  These include irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gallstones, constipation, and other conditions.  Knowledge about the digestive system, its disorders and its complexities, is an important area of women's health.

• What is your risk of a GI condition?
  

  Take a GI-condition risk assessment.

The experienced staff of Aria's Center for Gynecology & Women's Health knows how to identify the possible signs of these conditions.  These knowledgeable caregivers can refer to the appropriate medical provider for further examination and for testing, as needed, to determine the cause of GI symptoms. 

The center can offer treatment for some of these problems, as well as referral to Aria's well-regarded Division of Gastroenterology for definitive care of GI conditions. 

The staff of the women's center works closely with Aria's widely repsected gastroenterologists to find solutions to GI problems.
