Common Digestive and Liver Conditions Treated By Dr Wang Yu Tien
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Ongoing bloating, abdominal pain, and irregular bowel habits can significantly affect daily life. A structured, multidisciplinary approach helps improve long-term symptom control.
Acid Reflux & GERD
Frequent heartburn, chest discomfort, or acid regurgitation may indicate underlying reflux disease. Early diagnosis helps prevent complications and improve quality of life.
Helicobacter Pylori Infection
A common bacterial infection linked to gastritis and ulcers. Accurate testing and targeted treatment are essential for complete eradication.
Fatty Liver & Liver Disease
Conditions such as fatty liver, hepatitis, and cirrhosis often develop silently. Early detection allows better long-term liver protection.
Chronic Digestive Symptoms
Persistent bloating, indigestion, or changes in bowel habits should not be ignored. Proper evaluation helps identify the root cause.

Frequently Asked Questions
You should consider seeing a gastroenterologist if your symptoms persist or keep recurring despite medication. Common signs include ongoing bloating, abdominal pain, frequent heartburn, changes in bowel habits, or unexplained weight loss. Early evaluation helps identify the cause and prevents complications.
A gastroenterologist diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the digestive system, including the stomach, intestines, liver, and pancreas. This includes IBS, GERD, gastric ulcers, infections like Helicobacter pylori, and liver diseases such as fatty liver and hepatitis.
Some symptoms should not be ignored, especially if they are persistent or worsening:
- Blood in stool
- Black or tarry stools
- Difficulty swallowing
- Persistent vomiting
- Sudden weight loss
- Severe or ongoing abdominal pain
If you experience any of these, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
Not always. While IBS is a common cause, similar symptoms can be linked to food intolerances, gut infections, inflammation, or other digestive conditions. Proper testing is important to confirm the diagnosis and avoid missing other treatable causes.
GERD occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus. Common triggers include diet, obesity, stress, smoking, and certain foods. If left untreated, it can lead to complications such as inflammation or damage to the esophagus.
Your first visit typically involves a detailed discussion of your symptoms, lifestyle, and medical history. A physical examination and, if necessary, further diagnostic tests will be arranged before a personalised treatment plan is recommended.
