Educational information, not medical advice
The articles, procedure descriptions, and answers on this website are written to help you understand digestive and liver conditions and the care we offer. They are general educational information. They are not medical advice for your particular situation, and reading them does not create a physician–patient relationship with Digestive & Liver Center of Arkansas or with Dr. Ihab Herraka. Medicine is individual. What is right for one patient with fatty liver, hemorrhoids, or reflux may be wrong for another, depending on their history, medications, test results, and other conditions. Always talk with a qualified health care professional before starting, stopping, or changing any treatment.
Do not delay care
If you have symptoms that concern you, please be seen. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read here. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room if you have severe abdominal pain, heavy or persistent rectal bleeding, vomiting blood, black or tarry stools, chest pain, difficulty breathing, confusion, or any symptom that feels like an emergency.
About outcomes
Descriptions of treatments and procedures on this site reflect typical experiences and published evidence. Individual results vary. No outcome is guaranteed, and no page on this website should be read as a promise of a particular result.
About medications
Where we mention specific medications, such as therapies for MASH or prescription weight-loss medications, we do so to describe categories of treatment that may be appropriate for some patients. Whether any medication is appropriate for you is a decision made with your physician after evaluation, and depends on your diagnosis, your other conditions, and your coverage.
