Stomach & Digestion Assessment

Stomach & Digestion Assessment

Digestive symptoms can range from mild discomfort to more persistent problems that affect eating, sleep, work and quality of life. Our GPs assess stomach and digestion concerns carefully so that treatment starts from a clear understanding of your symptoms.

We review when the problem started, how often it happens, what makes it better or worse and whether investigations or referral are needed.

Common concerns we review

• Stomach pain or abdominal discomfort
• Indigestion, bloating and heartburn
• Nausea or vomiting
• Constipation or diarrhoea
• Changes in appetite or bowel habits

Your visit may include

• Clinical history and examination
• Advice on diet, hydration and symptom management
• Medication where appropriate
• Request for laboratory tests or imaging where needed
• Referral for specialist review in more complex cases

Digestive symptoms should not be ignored when they are severe, prolonged or repeatedly returning.
