Do you provide lifestyle guidance for gastrointestinal issues?
Yes, we offer personalized dietary and lifestyle recommendations as part of our treatment plans. Managing digestive health often includes changes in food habits, physical activity, and stress levels.
How is GERD different from regular acidity?
While acidity can be occasional and mild, GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) is a chronic condition where acid repeatedly flows back into the food pipe, causing persistent heartburn, sour taste, cough, and sometimes complications like esophagitis or strictures.
Can liver problems be detected early?
Yes, liver conditions like fatty liver or hepatitis can often be detected early through Liver Function Tests (LFTs), imaging, and routine check-ups. Early diagnosis helps prevent long-term liver damage.
What are the signs that I should consult a gastroenterologist?
You should see a specialist if you experience symptoms such as persistent abdominal pain, bloating, gas, changes in bowel habits, blood in stool, jaundice, or ongoing indigestion or heartburn.
Do you treat conditions like piles, fissures, or fistulas?
Yes, we evaluate and treat conditions related to the anal and rectal region such as piles (hemorrhoids), fissures, fistulas, and related bleeding or pain during bowel movements.
Is endoscopy painful or uncomfortable?
Endoscopy is usually a safe and quick procedure. Most patients tolerate it well, and mild sedation is used to ensure comfort. Our team takes all precautions to make it as stress-free as possible.
Do you treat pediatric (children’s) gastrointestinal issues?
Our primary focus is adult gastroenterology, but we can assess and refer pediatric cases to a pediatric gastroenterologist if needed.
How do I prepare for an endoscopy or colonoscopy?
Before the procedure, our team will provide you with clear instructions. Generally, you may need to fast and, in the case of colonoscopy, take bowel-cleansing medication as prescribed.
Do you offer second opinions for previously diagnosed conditions?
Yes, we provide expert second opinions based on your existing reports and medical history. We can guide you on further investigations, alternate treatments, or confirm your current diagnosis.
Is online consultation available?
While we primarily offer in-clinic consultations, online consultations may be arranged in select cases. Please contact our clinic directly to check availability and suitability for your condition.
